Contra Costa County Library

[5] Founded in 1913, the Contra Costa County Library brought a commitment to widespread, county-wide service.By the 1920s, there were over 40 branches and the Contra Costa County Library also provided service to 64 public schools.During the years following World War II, the library began to reflect the newly developing suburban nature of the county it served.Among these were the county's first central library and the adjacent administrative and technical services center, which opened in 1961.Since it began, the program has helped more than 4,000 people improve their reading, writing, and spelling skills.
