A Message from Skye Patrick

Dear Neighbors,

The devastation caused by the wildfires across Los Angeles County weighs heavily on our hearts. We stand in solidarity with all the individuals, families, and communities impacted during this difficult time.

At LA County Library, our commitment to serving our neighbors remains steadfast. We invite you to visit any of our library locations to:

• Take advantage of free Wi-Fi, public-use computers, and laptops.
• Pick up educational supplies for kids and teens.
• Explore our collection of books, materials, and online tools to assist with work, school assignments, or research.
• Charge phones and devices.
• Access water fountains and restrooms.
• Get help from library staff on where to locate forms and hotlines from the Los Angeles County Assessor and FEMA.
• Find a welcoming space to rest, reflect, and plan your next steps, or simply take a much needed mental health break.

We also encourage you to visit LACountyLibrary.org for updates on LA County’s wildfire response efforts and a curated list of emergency resources. Our website provides an updated directory of our library locations that are open and ready to welcome customers. Our Digital Library is available 24/7, offering access to eBooks, audiobooks, and other virtual resources.

We are here for you, and together, we will overcome this challenge.

With care and solidarity,
Skye Patrick
