Details

CollectionImages of the Palos Verdes Library DistrictDate1970DescriptionImage shows entrance of the Miraleste Library with four children holding books. Located at 29089 Palos Verdes Drive East in Rancho Palos Verdes, the library was designed by architect Thomas J. Russell and opened on October 24, 1970. Plans for a library facility on the east side of the Peninsula started as early as 1964. At that time, the nearest library was a Los Angeles County Library facility located on Narbonne Avenue. Library services were provided to the community with a small collection at the Miraleste School. While the permanent facility was being built, the Library District had an interim branch from 1966 to 1970 at Miraleste Plaza.NotesDate built: 1970LanguageengPhoto Size 6.5 x 8 in.Photo Format1 photographic print (b/w)Resource Typestill imageHeld ByPalos Verdes Library District.
