Starting Monday, October 26, the Bay Shore Neighborhood Library will be temporarily closed for ADA improvements. This upgrade includes updating our restrooms, installing a new water fountain, and upgrading plumbing, lighting, and electrical in the restroom area.

During our closure, Bay Shore will be available for To-Go Service, so you can still pick up and drop off any library materials! In addition, storytimes will continue at nearby, off-site locations: https://www.longbeach.gov/library/events/bay-shore
