Maywood Cesar Chavez Library

Welcome to the Maywood César Chávez Library, a cornerstone of the Maywood community since its establishment in 1921. Located at 4323 Slauson Avenue, Maywood, California, our library has a rich history of serving the public and promoting literacy and lifelong learning.

Originally founded as the Maywood Free Public Library in the Lincoln School, our library has undergone several transformations and relocations, finally settling at its current site next to City Hall in 1961. In 1993, the library was rededicated in honor of the civil rights leader César Chávez, reflecting our commitment to community empowerment and education.

Our library is supported by the dedicated Friends of Maywood César Chávez Library, a volunteer-run organization that champions our events and services. Whether you're a student participating in the LA County Library's Annual Bookmark Contest or a community member attending the One Book, One County celebration, there's always something happening at our library.

We offer a wide range of services, including access to a vast collection of books, eBooks, and digital media. With your LA County Library card, you can enjoy downloadable and streaming content on your devices, free of overdue fines.

Our library also provides essential resources like the Consumer Health Information Program, Homework Centers, and Family Place Library services, supporting the diverse needs of our community. Additionally, you can check out Kindles pre-loaded with expertly curated books or use our laptops for research and learning within the library.

We invite you to explore our offerings, engage with our programs, and become a part of our vibrant library community. Visit us to read, celebrate, learn, and enjoy all that the Maywood César Chávez Library has to offer!
