Jefferson Branch Library is a branch library of the Los Angeles Public Library. It was built in 1923 based on a design by architect C.E. Noerenberg.
In 1987, the Jefferson Branch and several other branch libraries in Los Angeles were added to the National Register of Historic Places as part of a thematic group submission.[2] The application noted that the branch libraries had been constructed in a variety of period revival styles to house the initial branch library system of the City of Los Angeles.
