Through the generous support of the California State Library, the Los Angeles Public Library has received a Library Services & Technology Act (LSTA) Grant to establish four Veterans Resource Centers, a resource dedicated to helping Veterans and their families. The Centers are located at the Central Library, Exposition Park Regional Library, the Mid Valley Regional Library, and the Van Nuys Branch Library
Veterans Resource Centers currently are not offering in-person services. If you are a Veteran and need assistance, please reach out to the Department of Lifelong Learning at 213-228-7380.
