Lincoln Heights Branch, Carnegie library in Lincoln Heights, Los Angeles, United States.
The Lincoln Heights Branch features Renaissance Revival architecture with a quarter-circle shape, Colonial style extensions, and an outdoor reading garden at 2530 Workman Street.
Constructed in 1916 with funding from Andrew Carnegie, this building started as Northeast Branch Library and changed its name to Lincoln Heights Branch in 1919.
The facility received the name Biblioteca del Pueblo de Lincoln Heights in 1975 through a community vote, reflecting the local Latino population demographics.
The branch contains an auditorium with 340 seats, computer workstations, and modern amenities following a complete renovation that expanded the building in 1996.
A bas relief sculpture of Abraham Lincoln, created by Mrs. William Wendt, has enhanced the library collection since its installation in 1922.
