A bit of history and our current projects

  • 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.

Book sales

One Saturday per month
we used to conduct a
fund-raising book sale
in the library meeting room.
 We will publish here when we resume these book sale events.

Water-wise garden

Over a period of years we created a showcase sustainable landscape and water-saving garden in front of the library.
In Fall 2020 we dismantled our garden in preparation for the construction
of the new Aptos Library.

Our Community Reads

A series of events revolving around the central themes of a current piece of literature. We aspire to promote fun and learning through talks, art shows, music, theater, films and more.
During spring and summer of 2021 we are actively preparing the next season of Our Community Reads.
