Libraries

  • Angelo M. Iacoboni Library. "The Angelo M. Iacoboni Library was founded in 1954 — the same year that Lakewood officially incorporated as a city. Originally the library was located in the Faculty Shops in Lakewood Center near what was then the City Hall. The library moved to a larger building in 1959 and was rededicated in 1965 as the Angelo M. Iacoboni Library, after Lakewood's first mayor. The library moved to its present location in 1973. It became a depository for federal documents in 1970 and a depository for California documents in 1973. An active Friends of the Library group was formed in 1972 and supports the Angelo M. Iacoboni Library and the George Nye, Jr. Library, which is also in Lakewood.

    On February 12, 2001, the Angelo M. Iacoboni Library reopened for service following several months of renovation. The project was a joint effort of Fourth District Supervisor Don Knabe, the City of Lakewood and the County of Los Angeles Public Library. The remodeled library has a new look with a redesign of the interior, improved lighting, technology upgrades, and a newly constructed Friends of the Library Bookstore......The current collection contains approximately 253,404 books including Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Spanish; and over 200 magazine and newspaper subscriptions. The large audiovisual collection, includes DVDs, books-on-CD, music CDs, and videos. The children’s audiovisual collection features many informational DVDs and videos to supplement the school curriculum. The library also has a DVD rental collection sponsored by the Lakewood Friends of the Library that contains current feature films that can be rented for a small fee. The collection includes magazines and newspapers in microfilm/fiche and federal and state government publications. Government publications feature census data, tax forms, topographical maps, information about local schools, crime statistics, data on local governments, information for small business owners, and a collection of reports about California’s water resources. Many of the government publications are available online and can be accessed either from a home or library computer. There is also a local history collection providing an in-depth look at Lakewood’s history, development, and government, as well as a selection of documents from other local communities. New to Iacoboni Library is our Young Adult section. It contains the latest fiction and non-fiction books, as well as a graphic novel section and classic teen novels."  
  • George Nye Jr. Library. "On February 22, 1973, the City of Lakewood, in cooperation with the County of Los Angeles Public Library, opened the George Nye, Jr. Library. The library is named for Lakewood Mayor George H. Nye, Jr. who died while serving in office in May 1971. The library is the second in the city and serves the population of the eastern area of the city which includes eight elementary schools, a middle school, and a high school. An active Friends of the Library group was formed in 1972 and supports both Lakewood libraries - George Nye, Jr. and Angelo M. Iacoboni.
    Together the City of Lakewood and the County Library, with help from many library supporters including Fourth District Supervisor Dean Dana, renovated the library in 1992. In 2002, the library was rearranged to create an enclosed picture book area with stuffed animals and rugs, a Homework Center with Internet and word processing computers and a 'New' Book reading area. New furniture was provided by the County Library and the Friends of the Lakewood Libraries."
