Kids in grades K-3 can enjoy live theater with "Flora Meets a Bee," a magical story about foster care, friendship, and feelings.
Flora Meets a Bee is the story of eight-year-old Flora who, after her mother was deported to Mexico, has lived in six foster homes since the age of five. One day she meets Bee and their budding friendship changes everything. Bee understands Flora no matter what language she speaks or how much she avoids sharing her true feelings. Flora sees the kindness just below the surface of Bee's rough, worker-bee exterior that most people may not take the time to see. A humorous and heartwarming tale of foster care, the importance of the hive, and the power of friendship.

Considered to be one of the finest Carnegie Libraries in the West, this 8,900 square foot library has two levels. Since its opening in 1918, it has been an important part of city services to Westside residents. The Chapman Branch was completely renovated, including an updated HVAC, following the collapse of the roof during 1993. A major remodel of the basement level meeting space in 2002 resulted in a much improved children's area and expanded service and collection space for adults on the ground level. A small meeting room is available for public use, and free wi-fi access is provided throughout the library. Street parking is available to the south of the building, and an external book drop is located on the east side of the building for returning library materials after hours.
