Rocklin Library History
The Rocklin Branch Library opened February 1943 in the lower
floor of the City Hall Building. It was open six hours a week. In
May 1965, the Library was moved across the road and hours
increased to 24 per week. Through the combined efforts of
the Friends of the
Rocklin Library, the City of Rocklin, and the County of
Placer, plus Federal funding through the California State
Library, a new 5,264 square foot branch library was built and
dedicated April 28, 1985. This facility was located at 5460 Fifth
Street in Johnson-Springview Park. The Friends of the Rocklin
Library, the City of Rocklin, and the County of Placer partnered
again in 2009/10 to expand the library for the growing city. The
new two-story, 16,600 square foot Rocklin Library opened January
2011 on Granite Drive.
