Today's library which I traveled to lies on the border of the community of Bixby Knolls in Long Beach. The Dana Library started as California Heights Station in 1928 at 913 Wardlow Road. The library moved to its present location in May 1958. Dana Neighborhood Library was dedicated to Richard Henry Dana Jr., who sailed out of Boston on the Pilgrim to the California coast and later wrote Two Years Before the Mast. Growing up next to Dana Point, his stories were a staple for our local community about trade and exploration of the Californian coast. The Dana branch also serves as a neighbor to the Michelle Obama Branch just down the street off of Atlantic Avenue. #librarylife #librariesofinstagram #californialibraries #🚴 #📚 #libraries #fixielife #LBPL #Longbeach #LBC #BikeLongBeach #BikeLA #fixies #librarylove #DanaPoint #HenryDana (at Dana Neighborhood Library - Long Beach Public Library)
