Kern Branch, Beale Memorial Library, also known as the Baker Street Library, is a library located at 1400 Baker St. in Bakersfield, California. The library was constructed from 1913 to 1915 and replaced Bakersfield's original library building. Architect O. L.

The library is designed as a central block with two wings at the east and west ends. The library's main entrance is located on the east wing; the entrance is a portico supported by columns and topped with a pediment and a frieze reading "PUBLIC LIBRARY". The ornate interior decorations incorporate classical and Renaissance themes. [2]
