Long Beach Public Library

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.

Homebound Readers Services

Homebound Readers Services provides library materials to patrons living in Long Beach who are confined to their homes by an illness or injury, either chronic or temporary.

LBPL offers a diverse and wide selection of books, magazines, and other materials in many different formats and languages. Materials are personally selected by a Librarian for each reader and mailed out every other week at no charge. 


We provide prepaid postage so you can return the materials when you're done reading.
