This is the first edition of An Incomplete* Listing of Los Angeles Libraries, Reading Rooms, and Archives, a growing directory of freely accessible reading spaces in LA County. Beyond the collections and knowledge they house, these spaces provide essential services to LA County’s 10+ million residents.

The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) —the primary federal agency supporting libraries and museums across the country—is under active threat of elimination. This map is offered as a tool to stay engaged and continue advocating for libraries as one of the last truly accessible public spaces, and a vital part of our shared civic life.

Published by Inventory Press for Printed Matter's 2026 LA Art Book Fair in collaboration with the Vera List Center for Art and Politics (VLC).

*This by-no-means comprehensive listing of Los Angeles County spaces is unfinished and awaits updates, additions, and corrections.
