Along with books, the collection consists of magazines, student papers, posters, DVDs, and CDs. The various sections include children’s literature, the history of Filipinos in Los Angeles, and Jose Rizal. FAL also features a permanent exhibition on its founder Auntie Helen, a variety of paintings by renowned artist Eliseo Art Silva, and Filipino books available for sale. Whether to browse or conduct research, FAL’s visitors include students, teachers, writers, families, and tourists.

FAL also advances its mission with its many programs. The Children’s Reading Program promotes the value of diversity to families in Greater Los Angeles through the reading of Filipino children’s books. In Bus Tours of Historic Filipinotown, a guide narrates the significance of sites, events, and individuals in and around the area to present an historical overview of Filipinos in Los Angeles. Authors also introduce their Filipino works of literature with residents of Greater Los Angeles through Book Launches. Finally, FAL has a benefit gala every October to commemorate its anniversary and Filipino American History Month.
