In 1987, the Muir 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.[4]
Following damage to the building in a series of earthquakes, the library temporarily relocated to a mini-mall in 1987. The historic library was reopened in 1997.
