Hunt Branch Library, The

The Hunt Branch Library building is a significant mid-century modernist structure owned by the City of Fullerton. We believe it is in imminent danger of being sold, and have organized a group of private citizens to ensure that the building remains in the hands of the people of Fullerton, and used to benefit the community.

The William Pereira designed Hunt Branch Library was a gift to the City of Fullerton from the Norton Simon Foundation in 1962.  For decades it served as only one of two branches of the Fullerton Public Library, until being closed in 2013.

After receiving $2.75 million in funding in the 2021/2022 from the State of California added to the 2.5 million State Library grant received by Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva, the Hunt Branch Library was on it’s way to reopening.

The Hunt Branch Library in the City of Fullerton reopened to the community on April 13, 2024.  The Hunt will be home to private event rentals, library services, tutoring, ESL classes, citizenship courses, and special events throughout the year.
