WILSHIRE LIBRARY sports new plants after its makeover.

To thank the volunteers and donors who helped refurbish the garden, the Friends of the Wilshire Library (FOWL) is having a garden party and ice cream social in the library’s garden.

A generous donation of $1,000 by the Windsor Square-Hancock Park Historical Society made the renovation feasible.
