In 1994, the library was one of many structures damaged by the Northridge Earthquake. The library was closed for repairs for a year following the quake, during which time M2A architects were commissioned to carry out repairs. Most of the repairs were funded by the "Adopt-a-Branch" program, which allows for private or corporate sponsors to supplement the funding of a branch of the Los Angeles Library. In the case of the North Hollywood Amelia Earhart Regional Library, &lt;a href="MCA/Universal"&gt;MCA/Universal&lt;/a&gt; were the primary contributors. The library officially reopened on April 17, 1995.
