Perspective
In 1972, citizens of Yuba County petitioned the Board of Supervisors for county-wide library service. With the support of both the City of Marysville and the Board of Supervisors, the City Library became the Yuba County Library on July 1, 1972. Plans were also put in motion to either remodel the existing Library building or to construct a new building at that time. The main reasons behind the project were the fact that the building was behind in the building codes and had no access for those with physical disabilities. After deliberation, it was decided to build a new Library. The redevelopment area at Second and C Streets was chosen. The construction was funded by the Library Services Act, Yuba County, the City of Marysville, and the United States Office of Education. The new Library was opened to the public in June 1977.[3]
In 2019 a needs assessment report on the library was completed, which identified several modernization projects to be addressed over the coming years.[4] While the county had been budgeting for a renovation project, the Yuba County Library was fortunate to receive a state grant in 2022 to make more significant improvements on the building.[5]
While the library is undergoing its renovation, the main building on 303 Second Street is closed to the public. The library opened a temporary location in 2024 to house the materials available for checkout, to load bus passes, and offer computer use at the Yuba County Government Building: 915 8th Street, Suite 113 Marysville, CA 95901.[6]
