ÈÕÈÕÅöºÝºÝÔê¾Ã¾ÃÔê2023About the Library
History
The ÈÕÈÕÅöºÝºÝÔê¾Ã¾ÃÔê2023 Library has been a vital part of ÈÕÈÕÅöºÝºÝÔê¾Ã¾ÃÔê2023 since the founding of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles in 1908. Originally located in the main building at Sixth and Hope in downtown Los Angeles, the Library received its own building in the form of Rose Memorial Library on the La Mirada campus in 1959. As ÈÕÈÕÅöºÝºÝÔê¾Ã¾ÃÔê2023 grew over the decades, it became clear that a new building was needed. The current ÈÕÈÕÅöºÝºÝÔê¾Ã¾ÃÔê2023 Library was dedicated and opened to the ÈÕÈÕÅöºÝºÝÔê¾Ã¾ÃÔê2023 community in the fall of 2001.
