About the branch

Dedicated on June 13, 1970, the Alondra Library was opened with a collection of nearly 15,000 volumes. The ground was broken for the Library on Jan 14, 1970.

Built by the City of Norwalk, the library was to place a special emphasis on Norwalk's Mexican-American heritage and culture. Funds for the first Spanish language books were donated by the Spanish club, El Circulo Espa
