THE LONG BEACH PUBLIC LIBRARY FOUNDATION PROVIDES SUPPORT TO ENHANCE THE LONG BEACH PUBLIC LIBRARY AND ENCOURAGES LITERACY AND EDUCATION FOR ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY.
Books and Materials: Many of the Foundation's fundraising efforts, grants, and endowments go toward the purchase of books and materials to help supplement and enrich the Long Beach Public Library's collection.

Family Learning Centers provide both individuals and families with a safe, designated place to receive free personalized assistance with homework, job searches, rC)sumC) writing, English language learning, literacy and computer skills from specially-trained, and often bilingual, Learning Guides. Families can also access technology including computers, printers, tablets, and educational software to help them fulfill their life goals for work, education and personal growth.
The Studio Program: Furthering the resources of the Family Learning Center Program is The Studio, which opened at Main Library in April 2014 and the Michelle Obama Neighborhood Library in September 2016. This innovative digital creativity lab integrates STEAM and makerspace activities to mentor, engage, and inspire students to learn 21st century job skills. Studio Guides offer free workshops and classes on cutting-edge technologies, such as 3D printers, a broad collection of design software and online applications, and video and music editing software that are designed to teach science and engineering skills to youth. In 2016, a Mobile Studio was launched, enabling the library to bring these innovative tools and educational resources to each of its branches, and to schools, recreation centers, parks, community events, or wherever they are needed most in the Long Beach community.
