Our Local Libraries

Walnut Creek has two public libraries that serve its residents – the Walnut Creek Downtown Library and the Ygnacio Valley Library. Both libraries are part of the 27-branch Contra Costa County Library. In addition, the Rossmoor Books-to-Go Program provides a book-delivery service for residents of Rossmoor.

Walnut Creek Downtown Library

The new Walnut Creek Downtown library will open on July 17, 2010 with a celebration for the entire community beginning at 10 AM.

The interim Walnut Creek Park Place Library will close at 6 p.m. on June 19. At this time books on hold can be picked up at the Ygnacio Valley Library. Books can still be returned at the Park Placed location after June 19, but the building will not be open for service.
The new Walnut Creek Library will have the same operating hours as the current location, Monday - Thursday 10 AM to 8 PM, and Friday and Saturday 10 AM to 6 PM.

Ygnacio Valley Library

The Ygnacio Valley Library was opened in 1975 to serve the rapidly growing neighborhoods of the Ygnacio Valley. The library was made possible through a generous contribution of land and money by Mr. and Mrs. Thurman G. Casey, who once owned the property.

In 2004, the Walnut Creek Library Foundation raised more than $180,000 to renovate the Ygnacio Valley Library. Read more about the project . . .
