Story

The Martinez library, completed in 1941, is located in an historic downtown waterfront community that also hosts the county government center for Contra Costa. The library houses a small historical collection that includes works by many famous local and state figures, including Martinez resident John Muir. Hanging in the library are portraits of Dr. and Mrs. John Strentzel, painted by Muir's friend and noted California artist William Keith. In addition to the historical, Martinez Library provides public internet computers, WIFI, a steady supply of new materials in various formats, and provides regular programming for children, teens, and adults. The Library was renovated and expanded with funds from Measure H and re-opened on August 20, 2011.

Pretty safe neighborhood but not always easy to park. Streets are metered! If you find parking and actually get inside, the people you'll find are nice. The library is quite small in size with limited content but most regular people will find what they need in there!

Nice, small library. The people are friendly but parking can be scarce.

.... A year or so ago, they remodeled the place and made it AWESOME, there's new computers and the book shelves are spread out giving the appearance of a more spacious library. The circulation desk is cool with the book drop right in front. Makes the business of doing books in a friendly atmosphere and a fun place to be.. The court building is right across the street from this location and so a lot of heated people frequent visiting here, it's just a really good place where people with any kind of stress can go and feel comfortable.
