Libros Schmibros Lending Library

Libros Schmibros is a Boyle Heights-based lending library that puts low-or no-cost books into all hands, native and immigrant, Eastside and West. Since our opening in 2010, we've welcomed patrons and put books into circulation in Boyle Heights and beyond. Mission Statement: Libros Schmibros champions the pleasures of literature and its power to change lives. Previous locations, etc. Libros Schmibros moved to the Mariachi Plaza location in February 2012, due in part to the proximity of the Metro Gold Line. Previously located at E 1st Street LA, CA 90033 (until 2012), with a Hammer Public Engagement Fellowship and installation "Libros Schmibros at the Hammer" at Hammer Museum, 10899 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angels, CA 90024 from August-November 2011. The Hammer installation and the Boyle Heights lending libraries were open concurrently from August to November 2011.
