About the Business
Welcome to A C Bilbrew Library, a cultural gem nestled at 150 East El Segundo Boulevard in Los Angeles, California. Established in 1974, this vibrant library serves as a cornerstone for community learning and cultural enrichment. Named in honor of Madame A C Bilbrew, a pioneering musician, poet, and community leader, the library stands as a testament to her legacy and contributions to the arts and civil rights.
Designed by renowned African-American architect Vincent Proby, the A C Bilbrew Library is a spacious 21,000-square-foot facility that can house up to 100,000 books. It is home to the Black Resource Center, which offers valuable resources and support for research into the social, historical, musical, and cultural aspects of the Black experience. The library also hosts the esteemed "African-American Living Legend" Series, celebrating notable figures such as Rosa Parks and Ray Charles.
The Friends of A C Bilbrew Library, a dedicated volunteer-run organization, plays a crucial role in supporting the library and its events. The library offers a range of services, including access to eBooks, audiobooks, and digital media with your LA County Library card. Visitors can also enjoy the convenience of borrowing Kindle Paperwhites and laptops for on-site use.
A C Bilbrew Library is a hub of activity and learning, offering programs like the annual Bookmark Contest for young artists and participating in county-wide initiatives such as the One Book, One County celebration. Additionally, the library is committed to supporting educational needs through its Homework Centers and Family Place Library programs.
Whether you're here to explore the rich Black history, participate in one of our engaging programs, or simply find a good book to read, A C Bilbrew Library is your community resource for inspiration and knowledge. We invite you to visit and become part of our vibrant community.

Reviews
"Staff is very helpful. Patient and they have activities for both kids and adults"
"There are always people sitting near the adult computer section and chatting with each other constantly or talking on phones excessively. Everyday. Like this is where they come to socialize not study/research. Never had a break with these chatters. The children computer section which is near the entrance n usually empty is not infested with these type of people. Wish they can just move there but loud ppl like quietness too ironically"
"This library meets the needs of the community. Culturely aware and senior sensitive."
"Neighborhood library that is culturally relevant to the Black community with the Black Resource Center. Another jewel of Willowbrook, CA."
"Love This Libary & Appreciate The Outdoor WiFi. It's Just Sad How The Pigs That Come Visit This Place Leave Trash All In The Parking Lot. Loosers."
