History
Anthony Quinn Library was originally named Belvedere Library. Belvedere Library was established in January 1914 as a pioneer branch of the newly founded Los Angeles County Public Library. By 1925, when the library was moved to a store-front facility at 111 North Ditman Ave., the collection had grown to several thousand books. In 1937 the library was relocated to 3713 Michigan Avenue. The library remained there until 1973, when it was moved to its present location. On January 5, 1982 the library was renamed in honor of actor Anthony Quinn; his childhood home occupied the site of the present-day library. In 2000, the library underwent a major renovation funded by the First Supervisorial District. It reopened in February 2001 with a fresh look and new furnishings.

Collection
The collection consists of 63,390 books, 43 magazine and newspaper subscriptions, 3,130 audio recordings and 3,600 video recordings. Special materials include college catalogs, telephone directories and a large pamphlet file. The library also houses the Anthony Quinn Collection (computer indexed), which contains over 3,000 items, including photographs, scrapbooks, scripts, screenplays and other memorabilia relating to the life of the actor.

Services
Patrons have access to adult and juvenile reference services as well as a Homework Center.

Facilities
Anthony Quinn library is 7,500 square feet. The meeting room capacity is 50. There is a coin-operated photocopy machine.
