Bach Neighborhood Library
Opened in February 1958, the Ruth Bach Neighborhood Library was named for Long Beach's first councilwoman. Ms. Bach served the city's fifth district and was an active advocate for the Lakewood Village community in the 1950s. The current 7,000-square-foot building, adjoining Heartwell Park, replaced the small Lakewood Library at 4152 Norse Way, which originally opened in 1938.
