The Studio's Summer S.T.E.A.M. drone program, originally scheduled for 9/18, has been moved to 10/2 at 2PM. We look forward to seeing you there!

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.

Government Publications

The Long Beach Public Library has been a selective depository for Federal Government Documents since 1933. We provide government information published by:

U.S. Government Printing Office

U.S. Patent & Trademark Office

State of California

California Secretary of State

California DMV

California Franchise Tax

City of Long Beach

County of Los Angeles

Many government documents can be found in our LBPL catalog and are searchable by author, title, and keyword. Most of our historical collection is housed in our closed stacks storage area at the Main Library. Some newer government documents are shelved with the Main Library's nonfiction collection. Visit the Main Library or ask a Reference Librarian for assistance.

The Federal government is dedicated to moving its publications to electronic format. As a result, many documents are available online.
