Los Angeles Public Library
LOS ANGELES — The Institute of Museum and Library Services announced LA County Library was selected as one of eight recipients of the 2023 National Medal for Museum and Library Service, the nation’s highest honor given to museums and libraries that make significant and exceptional contributions to their communities. Throughout the past 29 years, the award has celebrated institutions that are making a difference for individuals, families, and communities.
Founded in 1912, LA County Library is one of the largest and most innovative library systems in the US, serving 3.4 million residents across 3,000 square miles through its 85 community libraries, one institutional library and mobile fleet of 15 vehicles. It provides culturally responsive and dynamic collections, programs and services to meet the literacy, information, personal enrichment and entertainment needs of all residents across Los Angeles County.
Selected from 30 national finalists, the 2023 National Medal for Museum and Library Service winners represent institutions that provide dynamic programming and services that exceed expected levels of service. Through their community outreach, these institutions bring about change that touches the lives of individuals and helps communities thrive.
The award will be presented at a ceremony this summer in Washington, DC.
