Lunar New Year Celebration | Los Angeles Public Library

Multicolored Chinese lanterns

Happy New Year!

The Los Angeles Public Library is excited to bring you to our 2024 Lunar New Year Celebration, Year of the Dragon, celebrating the Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and other Asian communities.

The New Year is the celebration of the start of the calendar year and throughout the world, the New Year can be celebrated as a social, cultural and/or religious festival. Because the festival is tied in with the seasons, it is among the oldest and universally shared celebrations that are observed among many cultures, countries, and peoples.

At the Central Library, we will celebrate the Lunar New Year with family-orientated cultural programs from 2-4 p.m. on January 27.

If you would like to know more about our diverse communities, we invite you to visit one of our 72 branch locations and Central Library and engage in all the resources the library has to offer: books, citizenship classes, tutoring, and so much more.
