Write a Letter To….

Saturday, June 13 at 3:00 p.m.

In a world of emails and texts, when was the last time you sent a letter? Join us this summer as we rediscover the power of the postcard!

Think about someone who matters to you—a childhood mentor, a local politician, a relative who moved away, or even a star on the Walk of Fame. Stop by the library, create your own custom L.A.-themed postcard, and pen a brief, personal message. The library will take care of postage. All you have to do is write it. (Because sometimes a letter to a politician says more than a headline).

Discover the world of the post office Monday 6/8 at 4 pm! Make believe you’re a mail carrier with art activities and pretend play. 📬
