Markleeville Library Offers Saturday Storytime, Friday Music and a Library of Things

MARKLEEVILLE, Alpine County — The county’s main library provides local programs and equipment loans in addition to traditional books, creating year-round options for families and residents of the small mountain community.

The Alpine County Library System lists Saturday Storytime at 11 a.m. and an open music jam on Fridays from 1 to 3 p.m.. The library is at 270 Laramie Street, Markleeville; phone 530-694-2120.

What is a Library of Things?

The county advertises equipment available for checkout with a library card, including Chromebooks, telescopes, sewing machines, snowshoes, musical instruments, pickleball sets and hiking equipment. Residents should verify availability and borrowing limits rather than assume a specific item is on the shelf.

Regular opening hours

The county lists Tuesday 11 a.m.–4 p.m. and Wednesday through Saturday 10 a.m.–4 p.m. Online resources and public Wi-Fi have separate availability. The library also offers public computers, a study space, community meeting room and help with county documents.

Special programs and openings can change. Residents seeking an archive research appointment should contact staff in advance.
