History
The library started in 1943 as a subscription library, after the donation of $5 by 70 families living in Los Alamos. In 1945 it became free and open to all. In 1985 a branch library opened in White Rock. In 1994 the Los Alamos branch moved into its current building designed by architect Antoine Predock and located west of Fuller Lodge.
In 2015, the White Rock branch moved into a new building next to the White Rock Youth Activity Center.
