Parking for the event on Saturday

The library's parking lot is adjacent to the library; if you enter from San Vicente, it's the lot on the right. Validation is available for three hours, but please note: the lot fills up quickly. (There's another lot on the opposite side of the driveway. Parking is validated for an hour at the booth on the ground floor of the garage or near the small dog area on the opposite side of West Hollywood Park.)

Parking in West Hollywood is treacherous! If you park on the street make sure to read the signs. Most everywhere is permit parking, and the wonderful park is in part financed by parking tickets. So. Alternative transit methods are a great idea.

We look forward to seeing you! Blervis and JSFarman (talk) 03:46, 14 February 2024

It was so nice to meet you @deanraff. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia and don't be shy about questions and all that. Best, jengod (talk) 02:49, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, @Jengod for all your advice and help. I'll probably want a bit of your help in the future. Is posting on your talk page the best way to reach out to you? Deanraff (talk) 03:13, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Yep, or you can tag me (like you just did (with at symbol jengod) in the talk page of any article, etc. :) I hopefully can help or figure out who can. Best, jengod (talk) 03:16, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
