OUR CATALOG IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION

We are the only community-based Filipino American library in the country. Our mission is to actively promote the history, culture, and professional achievements of Filipinos and Filipino Americans through our book collection, leadership development, and cultural programming, thereby contributing to the achievement of a culturally dynamic, multiethnic America.

Founded in 1985 by Helen Agcaoili Summers Brown, FAL gathers the rich history and culture of Filipino Americans to provide access to the past and a path to the future. It is one of the largest repositories of Filipino and Filipino American materials in the United States, with a collection of more than 6,000 books, artifacts, and other items.
