Library in Koreatown LA
There are two libraries serving the Koreatown area of Los Angeles.
The main one is the Pio Pico library on Oxford Avenue, a block east of Western Avenue, just south of Wilshire Boulevard.
Serving North Koreatown is the Wilshire Library, which is actually about six blocks north of Wilshire Boulevard.
The library is named after Pío de Jesús Pico, the last Mexican governor of Alta California. He died in 1894.
Public libraries in Los Angeles will be closed on Thanksgiving and the next day, Friday.
In addition to the Pio Pico Library, another LAPL branch that serves what is still considered the Koreatown area of Los Angeles is the Wilshire Library. It doesn’t have as extensive a collection of Korean books or resources, but it’s the next best branch. (The Central Library in downtown LA also has Korean materials.)
