Goleta Valley Library Express Offers Temporary Library Service Near City Hall

GOLETA — November 2, 2026. Goleta’s Library Express continues serving readers during the transition from the main Goleta Valley Library building, with a temporary location by City Hall and a capacity limit.

Published public schedule

The city lists Tuesday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The temporary location is closed on Monday.

Where books can be returned

Goleta lists outdoor book drops at City Hall, 130 Cremona Drive, and the Goleta Community Center, 5679 Hollister Avenue, for round-the-clock returns. Use these rather than assuming a door to the former building is open.

Expect a smaller space

The city gives the express branch a maximum occupancy of 35 people and may meter access during busy periods. Parking and borrowing questions should be checked with staff before a time-sensitive visit.
