Visalia Branch Library

Visalia Branch Library is a public library in downtown Visalia with separate sections for adult materials, children's resources, and specialized collections. The modern building offers computers, printing services, study areas, and meeting rooms.

The library opened in 1936 and replaced an earlier Carnegie-funded facility that had served the community since 1904. This heritage reflects over a century of educational support for the area.

The Annie Mitchell History Room displays photographs and documents showing how agriculture shaped the area's development. Visitors can see records that explain the farming practices that defined the region.

The facility offers free computer access and internet connection along with quiet spaces for studying and working. Visitors should know that specialized collections are available and regular programs run for different age groups.

The children's section still uses the original 1936 building structure, which was renovated and incorporated into the main facility in 2008. This space preserves the character of the original structure and connects visitors to the library's history.
