With the addition, in 1954, of a spacious "children's wing" -- designed and equipped especially for the needs of young people -- this building served as Arcadia's library until April 1961, when the present library on the southwest corner of Duarte Road and Santa Anita Avenue was first dedicated.

Arcadia's First City Library Building -- This small frame house just north of the old City Hall was given to the City Council "without alterations, for use as a library," in 1924. ( A room in City Hall had served as the municipal library since the summer of 1920 when a proposition placed on the ballot to establish a city library had received a favorable vote earlier in the year. From 1914 to 1920 the local library had been a branch of the Los Angeles County Library, housed in the McCoy Block.) This building served as the City's library until a new building was constructed in 1930.
