All LA County Library locations will be closed on Monday, February 16 in observance of Presidents Day. Our Digital Library is open 24/7.
LA County Library customers can pick up a free dose of Naloxone and fentanyl testing strips at a select location. For all ages.
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.

Temple City Library was founded when Willa Samson initiated a small lending library in her home. In 1924, Mrs. Samson's rental cottage (9961 Woodruff Avenue) became the first official library site with Mrs. Samson as Temple City's first librarian.
After moving into larger buildings when it outgrew its surroundings, the current library location was opened in 1963.
Temple City Library reopened to the community in May 2022 with renovations which included a new Children’s Area, Community Meeting room, additional seating, laptop vending machine, Civic Art installation, and drought-tolerant landscaping.
