Fairview Branch Library

The Fairview Branch is located in the heart of the Sunset Park neighborhood. The first Fairview Branch opened in 1931 on 20th Street and was only 15 feet wide. In 1942, the storefront library was replaced by a new building, located at 2030 Pico Boulevard. In 1956, the Fairview Branch Library moved to its present location. 

Designed by architect Weldon Fulton in the 1950s, the Fairview Branch is a classic mid-century modern building. The original furnishings came from Eames, Knoll Associates, and Remington Rand. A community room was added in 1978, and other facility improvements were made in 2002 and 2016.
