The Writers Guild Foundation Shavelson-Webb Library is the only library on the planet focused entirely on
writing for the screen.

The library is open to the public and home to over 45,000 items.

Our mission is to preserve and promote the craft, history, and voices of screen storytelling. To meet that goal, we collect scripts and related materials, and make them available to everyone who comes to visit—not just Writers Guild members. We provide wireless internet and a quiet place for writers to work.

The library is accessible in person only, by appointment only. Please use our appointment scheduler to make an appointment. First time visiting? Read through WGF Library 101 and our FAQ.

The Writers Guild Foundation Shavelson-Webb Library is supported, in part, by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture.
