The three-story Italian Renaissance Revival style Sacramento Carnegie library opened on I street between 8th and 9th in 1918, replacing an earlier 1872 building one block to the west. The library was designed by Loring P. Rixford and was financed in large part by a $100,000 grant from Carnegie. The outside of the building retains much of its original appearance, the inside has been significantly updated to meet modern needs. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[2]
The one goal of the Sacramento Public Library involving volunteer programs is: Support library services for over 1.3 million residents in Sacramento County.[4]
In pursuit of that goal, the library uses volunteers to:
help with large and small one time projects.
assist librarians and other staff with ongoing special tasks.[4]
