The library is situated on the shore of Gull Lake, the most beautiful setting for a library. In 1990, the June Lake Library addition was completed, with COCCAP raising almost $200,000.00 for the building, equipment and furnishings. Walter Lantz presented the library with an original oil painting of Woody Woodpecker. The library was dedicated to Gracie and Walter Lantz. In 2010, the June Lake Friends of the Library paid for a small conference room which is attached to the library, “The Friend’s Reading Room” which houses the used books for sale, magazines and a nice area to read in and use wireless computers. The Friends also have a small rotating art exhibit. The June Lake Friends of the Library hold a yearly Book Sale which provides money for large print books, updating the collection and supplies. They have provided a new printer/fax/copier/scanner, computers for the public and a Kids Computer. The June Lake Library receives donations from June Lake Women’s Club, patrons and visitors to help enhance our collection which consists of new best sellers, audiobooks, large print books, DVD’s, and children’s books.
