Buellton Library’s last day of in-person service at its current location was August 14^th. The City of Buellton oversees the library facility at 140 West Highway 246, and in early August provided a notice of closure to the City of Goleta (Buellton’s Library Services Provider). As the City of Buellton started renovations to the existing library building for an expanded Senior Center, Buellton Library has now moved off the premises.

The library’s new home will be on the historic Willemsen property located at 202 Dairyland Road, which is still under construction. Updates will be shared as information is available.

Collection Updates

Buellton Library staff worked diligently behind the scenes to pack up the library collection for storage while construction is finished. Please note the following impacts to service:

• The Buellton Library book drop is closed. Library materials may be returned at any Black Gold library, including Solvang Library and Goleta Valley Library.
• Holds placed via the online catalog may be picked up at any Black Gold library location. Buellton Library is no longer listed in the catalog as a pick-up location for new holds.
• The Buellton Library collection of materials is no longer visible in the online catalog.

Programming Updates 

Library staff have pivoted to an outreach model of service that includes engaging storytimes, digital literacy resources, card registrations, and more. Regular visits have been established every Monday from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. at River View Park, where you can join us for games, books and storytimes near the large playground (weather dependent). You can also request an outreach visit using the form below.

When access to the new Buellton Library site is granted by the City of Buellton, staff will then redirect their focus to preparing for reopening the new facility and celebrating with the community.

Questions about library services may be sent to goletavalleylibrary@cityofgoleta.org. For questions related to the facility, move, and closure, please contact City of Buellton City Hall at (805) 688-5177.

We look forward to serving you from our beautiful new facility soon!
