TAKE ACTION

Libraries Need Your Voice.

All 12 Long Beach Public Library locations provide meaningful support to our community, ensuring equal access to educational materials, life-changing programs, and a welcoming community space. But the proposed 2027 city budget threatens to cut roughly 6% of the library department’s funding. This would mean cuts to staffing, operating hours, educational programming, and more.
