College Terrace is full of readers! We’re fortunate to have our own branch of the Palo Alto library, as well as multiple Little Free Libraries, here in our neighborhood.
College Terrace Library
Built in 1936, and fully renovated in 2010, the College Terrace Library is the oldest of the Palo Alto library system’s five branch libraries and houses a collection of fiction, non-fiction, audiobooks, CDs, DVDs, periodicals, and more. The library offers free WiFi, four computer terminals, a comfortable reading room, and a wonderful children’s room with weekly storytimes.
College Terrace Library
The College Terrace Library is located at 2300 Wellesley Street, between California and College. As of May 2022, It is open three days a week – Thursday, Friday, and Saturday – from 10am to 6pm.
