The Pangasinan Provincial Library was established in June 1924 right after the first public library in Manila was opened. It was located at the “Presidencia” of Lingayen.
After several years the Provincial Library was transferred near the Provincial Jail. The library was again relocated to the Capitol Compound at the Kalantiao Building, Sison Auditorium next, then to the Capitol Basement. Due to rains that caused flooding in the area, they decided to move the library to a safer place on the second floor of the Malong Building. In 2004, the library moved to the old Toyo Building.
