Description
The John F. Kennedy Library opened its doors to the public on September 10, 1970. Solano County Library operates the library on the second floor of a building owned by the City of Vallejo, across the plaza from City Hall. It was remodeled in 2005 and in 2013 all operations were moved to one floor in order to improve customer service, expand efficiency and increase security. The library includes collections for adults, teens and children as well as a computer center, story hour room, study rooms and a Friends of the Library bookstore. The library’s meeting space, called the Joseph Room, is located across the lobby. The McCune Collection, given to the City of Vallejo by Donovan McCune, is located on the first floor of the building and includes rare books on California, fine printing, and the art of the book. The Vallejo police evidence room, the Sister City Room and the Fighting Back Partnership, a community support organization, also share the building.
