About the Business

Manhattan Beach Library

Welcome to the Manhattan Beach Library, a cornerstone of community learning and engagement located at 1320 Highland Avenue, Manhattan Beach, California. Established in 1910 by the Neptunian Women’s Club, our library is one of the oldest in the LA County Library system, serving as a beacon of knowledge and culture for over a century.

Our modern 21,500-square-foot facility, designed by the acclaimed architectural firm Johnson Favaro, opened its doors in 2015. With its stunning two-story design, panoramic ocean views, and state-of-the-art amenities, the library offers a welcoming environment for all visitors. Families can enjoy our interactive children's exhibit, cozy up by the fireplace, or make use of our automated materials handling system and self-check machines for a seamless library experience.

The Manhattan Beach Library is proudly supported by the Friends of Manhattan Beach Library, a dedicated volunteer-run organization that enhances our services and events. From exciting contests like the 45th Annual Bookmark Contest for young artists to special celebrations like One Book, One County, there's always something happening at our library.

We offer a wide range of services, including the ability to check out Kindle Paperwhites pre-loaded with expertly chosen books, laptops for in-library use, and access to a plethora of digital resources like eBooks, eAudiobooks, and more—all free with your LA County Library card.

Our library is also a Family Place Library, providing early childhood information, parent education, and resources to support family learning and development. For students, we offer Homework Centers with enhanced resources and online homework help to support educational success.

Visit us to explore a world of knowledge, creativity, and community connection. The Manhattan Beach Library is here to inspire your imagination and support your journey of lifelong learning.

"A/c has been busted for at least 2 months, in the middle of summer. Will update to 5 stars when this gets addressed, because when it's not 85 degrees it's one of the nicest places to work quietly"

"Cute library but their AC is currently broken on the second floor. I would highly recommend reserving a study room a day ahead of time as there are only three private study rooms and they get booked by early morning. There’s not that many seating areas but they do have a great selection of movies and books, as well as a teen-only room, public computers, and public printers! Definitely a library best for a younger audience but at least well kept!"

"Best public library I have ever been to. You can beat the views of the ocean from the 2nd floor. Definitely recommend sitting next to the fire place on the second floor and enjoying the view. We were there for a public meeting, didn’t get a book. The collection seems to be amazing. They also have an automated book filling and sorting system which you can check out."

"Manhattan Beach has one of the nicest libraries that I have ever visit. Next time you visit Manhattan Beach, please do not hesitate paying the place a visit, even if it is just to take a few pictures. You will not regret it."
