The Tulare County Library System was formed in July of 1910. In September,
1910, the Dinuba Women?s Club filed a petition to have a County Library deposit
station (a spot where patrons could pick up and deposit books) set up in Dinuba.
The petition was granted and the first deposit station was set up in a corner of
the Dopkins Furniture Store with a deposit of 50 books sent from Visalia. A year
later more room was required, and the branch was moved to the Snell Building on
Tulare Street. The first librarian, Miss Etta Pillsbury, was appointed and was
paid the princely sum of $5.00 a month.
Sometime in 1912 the branch complete with a reading room moved to the (then)
new Chamber of Commerce building. In 1913 there were about 1,000 books and a
total of $47.80 was collected in fines. A new Carnegie Library was built in 1916
on land the city donated using Carnegie Foundation funds. The Chamber of
Commerce building burned down and all of its contents were lost in July, 1916.
The new Carnegie Library opened, informally, four days later. This library was
demolished in 1975 when the present day library branch was built. Dinuba was
designated branch #1 in 1910, and still holds that distinction today. Stop in to
see Branch Manager, Lia Rosales and Library Assistant, Marjorie Fly.
