Company History
Beaumont Library District was established by a public vote in 1911. Its original structure was built in 1914 with funding from Andrew Carnegie. It is the last surviving Carnegie building in Riverside County still being used as a library. It is also the oldest library continuously operating from the same building in Riverside County. The library was expanded in 1965 and a small community room was added by 1981. A major expansion and renovation project is expected to begin in 2025.
