Sacramento City Library, Public library in Sacramento, United States

The Sacramento City Library, also called Central Branch, is a three-story Italian Renaissance Revival building on I Street between 8th and 9th, facing I Street near Sacramento City Hall. Architect Loring P. Rixford designed it, and the exterior keeps much of its 1918 appearance while the interior has been updated. It stands next to Cesar E. Chavez Plaza, formerly City Plaza Park.

Andrew Carnegie funded the construction of this building in the early 1900s through a substantial grant, which then opened for public use in 1918. This project was part of a nationwide movement to establish public libraries across American cities.

The library sits beside Cesar E. Chavez Plaza, formerly City Plaza Park, and faces I Street near Sacramento City Hall. Volunteers support services for more than 1.3 million residents of Sacramento County, helping with one-time projects and ongoing tasks alongside librarians and staff.
