Armenian Heritage Book Drive on Saturday

Councilmember Paul Krekorian and the Valley Plaza Branch of the Los Angeles Public Library are set to host an Armenian Heritage Book Drive Saturday, March 2 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

During the book drive, library staff will collect Armenian-language and English books of Armenian fiction, nonfiction, cookbooks, DVDs, CDs and other cultural materials to bolster the city’s supply.

“A world-class city like Los Angeles should never lose sight of its commitment to the quilt of cultures that collectively make us great," Councilmember Paul Krekorian said. "The goal of this Armenian Heritage Book Drive is to build a collection worthy of Los Angeles that will serve as a resource center for all cultures interested about Armenian literature, books, photography, movies, travel, dance, music, cooking and more. I would encourage everyone to stop by on Saturday and either donate books, CDs or DVDs, or come check out the collection."

Saturday’s festivities will also feature music, food and more.
