LA County Library Reopening Additional Libraries for Select In-Person Service
30 Additional Libraries will Reopen for
In-Person Service on May 10
LA County Library is pleased to announce it will reopen an additional 30 of its 85 libraries for select in-person service beginning May 10, as Los Angeles County nears the yellow tier of the State’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy. The scheduled reopening will raise the total number of reopened libraries to 60 across LA County.
LA County Library will safely reopen its libraries at 75% capacity, while also maintaining 6-feet of physical distance for customers. In preparation for reopening additional doors to the public, LA County Library is working diligently to ensure safety protocols are met and appropriate preventative measures are in place.
The additional libraries that are scheduled to reopen are part of a phased reopening plan that prioritizes library openings based on geographic location, building availability, and the ability to accommodate physical distance guidelines and Public Health protocols. The Library has placed an emphasis on equity with special consideration for reopening libraries in underserved areas where residents prioritize in-person services.
