Original Sunnyvale Library
The first public library building in Sunnyvale, representing the community's commitment to education and culture.
Built in 1918 with funding from the Carnegie Foundation, this Classical Revival building served as Sunnyvale's first dedicated public library. The library was a symbol of the growing community's commitment to education and cultural development. It housed not only books but also served as a meeting place for civic organizations and cultural events that helped build Sunnyvale's sense of community.
The library represents the importance of education and civic engagement in Sunnyvale's development as a modern city.
Now serves as the Sunnyvale Historical Society Museum and Archives.
Open Wednesday-Sunday, 11 AM - 3 PM. Research appointments available by request.
