History
The La Puente Public Library began its long career in a local schoolhouse in September 1913. It resided in a school, a bank, and the Puente Mercantile Building until 1930. The library then moved to larger quarters several times over the next 38 years until it reached its present location in the La Puente Civic Center in November 1968.

Collection
The library's collection totals approximately 94,130 volumes. The collection includes Spanish and Vietnamese language material, 83 magazine and newspaper subscriptions, 3,534 audio recordings, and 7,046 videocassettes. The library features a strong consumer health collection to better serve the clients of the County Health Center nearby.

Services
The library offers basic reference services, children's programs, a Homework Center, and a coin-operated copy machine. A meeting room is available on a rental basis.

Facilities
The library building is approximately 10,400 square feet, featuring an adult section, a children's area, a periodical area, and a meeting room with a seating capacity of 45.
