In response to an increase in fentanyl & other opioid related overdoses, we've partnered with County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health & CA Department of Health Care Services to offer free doses of Naloxone (Narcan) & Fentanyl test strips.

    LA County Library customers can pick up a free dose of Naloxone (Narcan) and fentanyl testing strips. Naloxone is a life-saving medication used to reverse an opioid overdose, including heroin, fentanyl and prescription opioid medications. Fentanyl test strips can be used to help reduce the chance of an overdose. The strip tests drugs for fentanyl contamination and provide a simple yes or no on whether fentanyl is present, but not how much.

    Customers do not have to provide identification, proof of insurance, or payment. While onsite, customers will need to complete a brief video training on how to administer naloxone. Limit one per customer, while supplies last.

    About the branch

    San Fernando Library opened in November 1914 as a branch of the Los Angeles County Free Library. This library, the first public library in the mainly agricultural San Fernando Valley, found its home in the Industrial Arts building of the San Fernando Union High School located at 130 North Brand Blvd. In the first year, 1,849 books were circulated to 156 borrowers.

    From 1925 to 1946, the library weathered the Depression and war years in three store-front locations all on North Maclay Street. Then from 1946 to 1953, the library was located at 11223 First Street.

    In 1953, the library joined with city services when it became part of the civic center at 102 Macneil Street. Growth continued for the city and the library with the collection reaching a total of 27,572 volumes in 1964 for the library's 50th anniversary.

    The 1970's saw the development of a strong Spanish-language collection and the creation of the community support group---the Friends of the San Fernando Library. In 1988, the library moved into a 6,000 square-foot facility located at 150 N. Library Street.

    On June 20, 2001, the library moved to 217 North Maclay Ave, a brand new 8,601 square-foot leased facility. The library is the center piece of the newly constructed Library Plaza Mall. The project was a private/public partnership.
