Palm Desert Public Library
The Palm Desert Library will open on July 1st, 2024 as a City of Palm Desert operated library after the City Council made the decision in 2023 t otake over library operations.
The original Palm Desert Library opened its doors in 1962 on Portola Avenue, where it remained for 33 years. Then, in 1995, a new building was planned, financed, and constructed by a partnership between the City of Palm Desert, the County of Riverside, and the College of the Desert. A year later, on April 19, 1996, the newly built 43,000-square foot, state-of-the-art, multi-agency facility on the College of the Desert campus opened at 73300 Fred Waring Drive.
While Palm Desert Library currently occupies the southern half of the building and the lobby, the College of the Desert Library occupied the northern half until January 2020.
Formally the library was one of 35 libraries in the Riverside County Library System (RCLS).[1] RCLS contracts with the library management company, Library Systems & Services, LLC, for library services.[2] The library is located in south end of the Multi-Agency Library building on the College of the Desert campus in Palm Desert, California, United States.[3]
