The East Baton Rouge Public Library was established in 1939 with the donation of second-hand collected books from the city. Quick to expand, the library had eight branches within its first three years as a system.[4]
Since 1986, the library has been funded by a 10-year dedicated property tax. This tax, funded at 11.1 mills, provides funding for all library operations, improvements, and salaries. While the tax was lowered to 10.78 mills in the early 2000s, it was raised back to 11.1 mills in 2015.[5] Its most recent renewal was on October 24, 2015.[4][2]
