📖 About Northwest Branch Library
The Northwest Branch Library has anchored the residential northwest quarter of Burbank since 1972, when the City built the dedicated facility at 3323 W. Victory Boulevard at a cost of $188,340 to replace the smaller West Burbank storefront branch that had served the area since September 1954. As the smallest of the three Burbank Public Library locations, the Northwest Branch offers a focused collection of books and materials alongside free Wi-Fi, public computers and Wi-Fi printing, with interlibrary loan connecting patrons to the full Burbank system and beyond. Notably, it is the only Burbank library branch open on Sunday mornings (10am–2pm), and it stays open until 8pm on Tuesdays, making it accessible for working families on weekday evenings. The Burbank Public Library system celebrated its centennial in 2013 and went fine-free in 2020.
