11:45am | Whether you are seeking information for finding a career, starting a business, looking for activities for children, researching a paper, downloading an audio book, or searching for your next favorite author, Americans love their libraries. In fact, we visit them almost 1.2 billion times each year. The library is correctly perceived as a beneficial and benevolent pillar of the community and, in this sense, you belong at your Long Beach Public Library.
During the month of April, the community is invited to join our nation’s libraries and librarians in celebrating National Library Month, where special story times, films, exhibits, readings, and author events are planned throughout the span of the celebration. In addition, the Long Beach Public Library provides historical and cultural heritage, digital collections, materials in print and electronic formats, career and business resources, homework help, computer instruction and many other creative resources.
“Today’s libraries provide a wide range of opportunities for people with diverse needs and interests,” said Glenda Williams, Director of Library Services. “That means providing our communities with tailor-made collections and services for people of diverse backgrounds, language abilities and technological skills.”
