Review of Riverside Public Library

Review in progress...

Review in progress...
From its birth in 1901 (few rooms in the Loring Building) post funding by Andrew Carnegie with an inital grant of $20,000 in 1901. Many changes and progress through the years happened.

This new library opened in 1964 and dedicated in 1965. Design by Moise, Harbach and Hewlett with a capricious ability to house 300,000 volumes of books and comfortable expanded seating for 550 souls.

Riverside is growing and new plans are in place for the modern 2020 library. This location is being transformed into "The Cheech Marin Center" for Chicano Art, Culture and Industry.
