Historical Data	Tragic fires in 1986 destroyed part of the Los Angeles Public Library building along with 20 percent of the library's collection, prompting a closure for 6 years while restoration took place. During these years, the Los Angeles Public Library warehouse located at 361 S. Anderson Street quartered library staff and numerous library materials. Renovation of the library was completed in 1993, and the library reopened its doors on October 3, 1993. The Los Angeles Public Library is the third largest public library in the United States in terms of books and periodical holdings, boasting over 6 million volumes. It was added to the National Register of Historical Places in 1970 - Building #70000136.

Anderson Street, the Maintenance Building was previously owned by the Link-Belt Company and sold to the City of Los Angeles for the use by the Los Angeles Public Library. The LeRoy D. Owen Company, prominent industrial realtors, handled all negotiations; consideration was in excess of $200,000. The property consists of approximately one acre of land substantially improved with a total floor space of over 40,000 square feet. The property will be used by the Public Library as a carpenter shop and warehouse to provide improved service facilities for the city's libraries.
