The Angeles Mesa Branch was built in the late 1920s to a Spanish Colonial Revival design by architect Royal Dana and dedicated on October 9, 1928, costing about $35,000 to build and furnish. In 1987 it joined the National Register of Historic Places through a thematic group submission covering several Los Angeles branch libraries.

The branch's name comes from the surrounding Angeles Mesa neighborhood, and the library has served that community since its dedication on October 9, 1928. Staff-written records from 1936 to 1949 and a 1937 Angeles Mesa News article titled "Local library starts with deposit of 150 books" document its early role. A re-dedication program for the renovated building was printed with its history in both English and Spanish.

The branch sits in the Angeles Mesa neighborhood of Los Angeles, at the coordinates 33.99140, -118.31952, south of the city center. It is a branch of the Los Angeles Public Library, so holdings and services follow the wider system rather than a standalone collection. The building dates from 1928, and its 1987 listing in the National Register of Historic Places covers it as part of a thematic group of Los Angeles branch libraries.

The building was designed in Spanish Colonial Revival style and gained recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. This distinction highlights its architectural importance within Los Angeles's early library development.
