While LA stays safe at home, the Encino-Tarzana Library staff (pictured from last Halloween on Instagram) will be telecommuting. We'll share our thoughts, book reviews, eMedia suggestions, and craft ideas. We want you to benefit from our library resources and programs, because while we're closed, we're still here for you.

Check the LAPL website for online events for children, teens and adults.

Our Mission:

The purposes of the Friends are to enhance community interest for the Library as a prime cultural and educational asset; to focus public attention on its resources and services; to encourage and receive gifts, endowments and bequests to the Library; to raise funds in support of the Library's collection, services, operations, and facilities; and to support and cooperate with the Library in developing library services and programs for the community.

Teens say "Thank you"

Teen volunteers: Aline, Nairi, Elen, Tanisha, Samantha, Yvette, and Carlos designed and wrote thank-you postcards to our Encino-Tarzana Friends of the library. During the library closure, we’ve missed seeing our F.O.L, and we wanted them to know how much we’ve appreciated their support over the years. Three cheers for our library Friends! And thank you for your awesome art work, teen volunteers.
