The first public library in Pomona began in 1887. In search of funds for a facility, the city applied for a Carnegie library building grant and received a $15,000 in 1902. Designed by the firm of Burnham and Bliesner, the Classical Revival style building was completed in 1903. Ten years later, the city received an additional grant of $10,000 for library to be enlarged (the added wing is visible on right in the background). The building served as the public library until 1966, when it was demolished to make way for a replacement structure. Exterior view of the Pomona Public Library.
