At the Main and North Branch Libraries, our Children’s sections include:  

  • Play area
  • Picture book area
  • Study tables
  • Magazines 
At the Main Library, our Teen Zone (designated as TEENS ONLY from 3pm – 6pm on weekdays during the school year) includes: 

  • Teen Reading Zone with teen-friendly lounge furniture
  • Study carrels and tables
  • Charging jacks for phones and/or laptops.
Librarians are on duty in the Children’s Section of the Main Library during business hours. Among the different services offered to children, teens, parents, and teachers are:

  • Assistance in locating materials and other resources to complete school assignments and questions. But beware! It’s not the librarian’s job to do students’ homework for them!
  • Hosting class visits to the Library. Interested teachers should contact Helaire Hamilton Mitchell, Youth Services Librarian, at 310-318-0676 ext. 2576 to make arrangements for visits to either Library.
  • Offering crafts and other special programs. Please see the Calendar for programs.
