The Kaufman branch celebrates 25 years.
By Chad Winthrop
Last month a star of the Brentwood community celebrated a big birthday.
On July 21, the Donald Bruce Kaufman – Brentwood Branch – Los Angeles Public Library celebrated 25 years of serving the Brentwood community.
Named after the co-founder of Kaufman and Broad, Donald Bruce Kaufman, the library was opened to the public on July 17, 1994.
The library, located at 11820 San Vicente Boulevard, may not be the largest or grandest in Los Angeles, but its selection of books, DVDs, CDs, cozy space, workspaces and conference rooms are beloved by the Brentwood community. In addition to regular programming such as a Spanish Conversation Class, an Adult Non-fiction book club, as well as film screenings, the Brentwood Community Council (BCC) utilizes the space for its monthly board meetings that are open to the public and a place of invaluable public discourse.
