Visitors to Inglewood's Civic Center are impressed and often puzzled with the unique Library art work. The sculpted walls of the Lecture Hall and Library Stair Well (adjacent to Manchester Boulevard) were designed to stimulate curiosity and imagination. They trace the evolution of human intelligence through Mankind's common bond--"The Word." (Photo copyright by Ginger Van Hook, used by permission)

The Inglewood Public Library has successfully completed a Local History Digital Resources Project grant from the California Digital Library and the California State Library. Inglewood was selected as a participant in part in recognition of 2008 being the City's centennial year. The project provided for the digitization of 200 images, which now form the core of what will become a larger collection.
The digital images will be displayed in future months on this web site, but a collection of 183 images may be viewed on the website of the Online Archive of California. City departments, the Inglewood Unified School District, and the Inglewood-Airport Area Chamber of Commerce provided photographs and other materials.

Library Director Bruce Johnson has announced a new schedule of operating hours, effective Monday, October 5, 2009. The schedule maximizes the hours at each location, within the budget constraints. The Library set this schedule after a careful study of usage and circulation by hour and day at each of the city's three libraries, with the goal of minimizing the impact of reduced hours on Library patrons. Service will be provided seven days a week, including four evenings.
