HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BJK MAIN LIBRARY!
Can you believe it's been a full year since the grand opening of the Billie Jean King Main Library when we welcomed over 8,000 residents inside our doors for the first time? In this inaugural year, we’ve already created so many lasting memories! If you're itching to see the inside of the Library once more, you can transport yourself to the stacks in this virtual tour, presented by the Long Beach Public Library Foundation and Clark Construction. It's almost as if you can smell the pages of the books and the beams of timber once again.
