The library was first housed at the old Quezon City Hall building then located where Ramon Magsaysay High School in Cubao presently occupies.

To date, QCPL building is one of the best public library buildings in the country and a venue for library bench-hmarking. It houses the Administrative Services, Technical Services Division, Publication Section, Office of the City Librarian, Law Research and the Conference Room. The ground floor houses the Readers Services, E-gov services, MIS and Puppets room. To date, it has 25 branch libraries located in six (6) districts of Quezon City.
