Los Angeles County Library has been named Library of the Year by Gale/Library Journal for its community support, equity and inclusion, and the creation of innovative services and partnerships that support the library’s mission.

As 2019 Library of the Year, LA County Library will be honored at a reception at the American Library Association annual conference in Washington, D.C. It is the third honor LA County Library has received in the past 12 months from Library Journal, following the 2019 Librarian of the Year Award given to Library Director Skye Patrick, and 2018 Marketer of the Year Award given to the marketing and communications team for LA County Library. The county library system was also a finalist for the Institute of Museum and Library Services 2019 National Medal, and won two National Association of Counties Achievement Awards for its iCount equity initiative and the Great Read Away, a fine forgiveness program for youth.

The West Hollywood Library, located at 625 N. San Vicente Blvd., is branch of the LA County Library system.
