Perris Library

Perris Library Welcome to the Perris Library's official page. shortly afterward, in 1916.

The first library in Riverside County was built in Perris in 1882, in Henry Akin's general store on D St. When the Riverside County Library System was formed in 1911, the first collection was sent to Perris, and a new building was built on 4th St. The Library moved again several times through the years, from the old Library to City Hall, then to a former Post Office building at 424 D St., and fina

lly to its current 20,000 square foot building on San Jacinto in 1994. It remains a vigorous, dynamic center of the community, and its staff works hard to build firm connections to city residents, and to deliver exciting, innovative programs and services. Perris Library is one of 35 branches and 2 bookmobiles in the Riverside County Library System, managed by the Riverside County Economic Development Agency (rivcoeda.org) and operated by Library Systems & Services (www.lsslibraries.com).
