The Huntington Beach Public Library system’s mission is to support the
educational, informational and cultural needs of our patrons by providing access to library facilities, materials and information for the betterment
of the community .

 Note to tourists: If you are looking for a Gutenberg Bible,
Gainsborough's "Blue Boy", or the famous rose garden, you're looking for the Huntington Library in San Marino,  California (about 40 miles from us).

 We've been providing library and cultural services to the city of Huntington Beach since 1909.

 1909  First library in Huntington Beach
 1913 Carnegie Library built at Walnut & 8th

 1975 New Central library opened at 7111 Talbert Avenue
