Mt. Shasta Library was built at its present location in 1969 with the combined efforts of the Rotary Club and the community of Mt. Shasta. In 1989, Rotary again took the lead along with the City of Mt. Shasta and doubled the size of the building. With nearly 40 years on the original building and nearly 20 years on the addition, the building is once again in the process of upgrade. The California Energy Commission in conjunction with the City of Mt. Shasta is investigating the possibility of a major remodel. Prior to its own location, the library was housed in the Mount Shasta Community Hospital, and then in the upstairs room of the old city hall, currently the city ’s police department.
