The Kettleman City Branch Library, established in 1930, has had four homes, two of which were purpose-built to house a library. The first operated in a store owned by Ennis T. Shankland between 1930-1938. It moved to a former building owned by the Standard Oil Company of California, that had been used just previously by the local Boy Scouts troupe. It moved from here on 02/11/1959 to an new 1,200-square-foot library, and again in 01/1991 to a space nearly three times as large in the Kings Government Complex. The 1991 library was paid for, in part, by funding deriving from the Library Services and Construction Act of 1962 (and its subsequent amendments).
