The Works Progress Administration built a permanent building for the library in 1936–37.

The library building has a Pueblo Revival design with adobe walls and vigas supporting the roof.

A New Deal-commissioned oil painting titled Landscape in Talpa, which was given to the library upon its opening, decorates the inside.
