A bit of history and our current projects

Picture
  • The original Aptos branch library was founded in 1944 on Trout Gulch Road.
  • In October 1964 the library moved to a more spacious location at the Rancho del Mar shopping center.
  • By 1970, the Aptos branch was the fastest growing branch in the library system, and it had outgrown its space at the shopping center.
  • The current site was chosen in July of 1972.
  • The new Aptos branch was dedicated on Saturday, June 28, 1975.

Our Community Reads - 2021

Every year we create a series of events revolving around the central themes of a current piece of literature (fiction or non-fiction).
We aspire to promote fun and learning through talks, art shows, music, theater, films and more.
