La Mirada~Although closed for the first major renovation in its 46-year history, the La Mirada Library continues to offer free programs, including a series aimed at teens, at its temporary location.

The $4 million dollar construction project, being managed by the city, was approved in 2004 and is expected to be completed by the end of this year.

The City of La Mirada has graciously set up space on the bottom floor of the Resource Center for scaled-down library services to continue. The center is located just across the civic center courtyard  at 13710 La Mirada Boulevard.

Some might remember this space as The Basement recreational teen center which was dedicated in June of 2003, but never really resonated with the youth in the area. The area later housed a computer center.
