Scouts add drive-up book drop to library

Looking for a challenge?  Check out the community puzzle table in the reading area of the main wing the next time you visit the library.

Please be aware of the construction going on regarding the new porch and ramp entryway that will face the Town Green.  During this time, patrons will need to enter the library through the Jeff Davis Avenue entrance.  For overnight book returns, please use our new drive-up book drop. 

A ribbon cutting ceremony was held on September 30 for the Girl Scout Troop that completed the new drive-up book return for Long Beach Public Library patrons.  Members of the local community gathered to celebrate with the girls.  Great job, Troop 4617!  We appreciate what you’ve done for your library and its patrons.
