Google Expeditions AR at John C. Fremont Branch Library–Adults, Teens, Kids Event
Please join us for our Science Fun, Winter Reading Challenge, as show-and-tell meets augmented reality. Expeditions AR uses Google’s AR technology to map a physical location and place 3D objects, and participants can walk around the objects, get in close to spot details, and step back to see the full picture.
Expeditions include: basic land formations, circulatory system, dinosaurs, DNA/RNA, the ocean floor, phases of the moon, Renaissance art, the solar system, the space race, etc.

Everything must come to an end. Eventually. Los Ángeles writer, author of Grace (Counterpoint, 2016), Natasha Deón, creator of Dirty Laundry Lit, has decided it’s time to end the wildly popular and successful reading series in Hollywood, after seven plus years. It’s best to let Natasha Deón say it in her own words. The following words are taken from a Facebook post she made yesterday.
Friday was the second edition of the open mic Poetry y Pan at Café con Libros in Pomona, hosted by poets and educators Irene Sanchez and Matt Sedillo. The Reading began shortly after 7:30 pm, the Arts District coming to life with music and food. Next door it sounded like a band was playing a familiar Green Day song, kicking off the weekend.
Come to hear author and founder of Homeboy Industries, Father Gregory Boyle, discuss and sign his new book Barking to the Choir: The Power of Radical Kinship.
Please join us to hear Victoria Namkung discuss and sign her novel, These Violent Delights, set in modern-day Los Angeles at Windemere School for Girls, an elite private school where Dr. Gregory Copeland is the beloved chair of the English Department. A married father with a penchant for romantic poetry—and impressionable teenage girls—he operates in plain sight for years, until one of his former students goes public with allegations of inappropriate conduct. This is a literary exploration of the pressures and vulnerabilities so many women and girls face, and analyzes the ways our institutions and families fail to protect or defend us.
Please join us every Monday at 1 pm as we make a zine in our Conchas Y Café Workshop for adults, with DSTL Arts. Our zine will be added to our #LAPLZineLibrary at Baldwin Hills Library!
Please join us for an author Q&A with Guerilla Tacos founder and Chef Wes Avila, along with Richard Parks III, as they discuss his book, Guerilla Tacos. This cook book offers the story of their fame with their taco truck, which stands out in a crowded field because it is so unique and uses only stellar ingredients. With comic illustrations and stories throughout, and the 50 base recipes in this book, this is the final word on the subject.
Come to hear the 2nd Monday Poetry Party hosted by Cadence Collective, and hosted by poets Murray Thomas & Sarah Thursday. This site features poets who have lived, gone to school, worked or regularly been a part of Long Beach, and it always begins with an Open Mic, followed by featured readers of the month.
