South Whittier Library

Welcome to the South Whittier Library, a cornerstone of community enrichment and learning since 1915. Located at 11543 Colima Road, Whittier, California, our library has evolved from a humble one-room schoolhouse to a modern 14,411 square foot facility, serving as a vibrant hub for knowledge and community engagement.

The South Whittier Library is proudly supported by the Friends of South Whittier Library, a dedicated volunteer organization that enhances our services and events. Together, we offer a range of resources and programs designed to meet the diverse needs of our patrons.

Explore our vast collection of books, eBooks, audiobooks, and more. With a LA County Library card, you can enjoy free access to downloadable and streaming content on your devices without worrying about overdue fines. Our library also features cutting-edge technology, including Kindle Paperwhites and laptops available for in-library use, ensuring you have the tools you need for research and entertainment.

Families with young children can benefit from our Family Place Library program, which provides early childhood information, parent education, and socialization opportunities. We also support students with our Homework Centers, offering enhanced resources and homework help to foster academic success.

Join us in celebrating creativity with events like the LA County Library's annual Bookmark Contest and the One Book, One County Author Talk. Stay informed and engaged with our monthly programs, workshops, and community initiatives.
