MILLIE PERKINS IS COMING TO MONTEREY PARK ON JULY 31

SCREENING THE CLASSIC “THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK”

The Historical Society has been fortunate to partner with Librarian Cindy Costales and Friends of the Library in co-sponsoring a Classic Film Screening over the past five years. These events have been held on a Sunday afternoon in July in the

Friends Room at the Monterey Park Bruggemeyer Library Light refreshments follow the program. This year the event will move to Tuesday, July 31st, at 2 p.m., due to possible library closure on Sundays.

City council voted to close the library on Fridays instead of Sundays but it was too late to change the date of this event.
