Thanks to the efforts of the Burbank Chamber of Commerce, the Burbank Public Library was started in May 1913 as a contract branch of the Los Angeles County Library. It shared quarters with the Library of the "Brotherhood" in the Thompson Block building on the corner of Olive Ave. and San Fernando Road. The Ladies Auxiliary acted as custodians.
By 1961, the Main Library was rapidly outgrowing the library's space. A new two story Central Library was completed in July 1963 and boasted over four times the space of the old library. The dedication for the Burbank Central Library was held on November 17, 1963.
