Pico Rivera Library offers free diapers and hosts book club discussion

The Pico Rivera City Council meeting on May 13, 2025, highlighted significant updates from the community library and introduced a new city branding initiative.

Lauren Talbot, the community library manager, announced that the Pico Rivera Library has received a shipment of free diapers in sizes 1 through 6, along with a limited supply of baby wipes available for pickup. She also invited the community to participate in the upcoming book club discussion on "Counterfeit" by Kirsten Chen on May 20 at 6 PM, and a cooking demonstration for teens on Vietnamese spring rolls scheduled for May 31 at 2 PM.
