Our telephone notification system is not working at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience. While we work to get it fixed, you can check your holds and renew your materials through our website by going to My Account under Borrow or call one of our library locations.

The bookdrop at Burnett Library is currently out of order—swing by Dana, Harte, Twain, or any of our other locations to return library materials after hours. 

Face coverings must be worn by all patrons, except children under the age of 2, when in library buildings. This requirement is in accordance with the most recent Health Order from the Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services.
