Easton Library History
In 1927, the Easton Branch library did not yet exist, as the Burlingame Women’s Club stood at 1800 Easton Drive instead. Due to World War II needs from the city, Burlingame decided to discontinue funds for the Women’s Club, and the organization came to an end in early 1942. The Burlingame Public Library later purchased the plot in August of 1942. It wasn’t until 1943 that the Easton Branch library officially opened.
For the majority of the library’s history, the building was untouched, as the property only faced minor facelifts. It wasn’t until 2003 that the library began a massive renovation project featuring completely new floors, windows, a computer lab and even a small garden in the back of the library.
At this historical gem, you will not only find wonderful facts and fiction, you will find a cache. It is located outside the library and outside of most prying eyes. It is a small cache loaded with trinkets and a fun log. It does not, however, have a wrting instrument so bring your own pen, prncil or stamp. Watch for muggles going in or out of the library (entrance is on another side of the building), walking up and down the sidewalk, and a nearby home or two. Please rehide carefully.
