Reading at the location was free, but the Association charged dues of 25 cents a month for the privilege to borrow books.[5] In {{Date|1896}} Mrs. John Strentzel and her daughter Louisa Strentzel Muir, wife of John Muir, donated land and a new library was built by popular subscription for {{US$|6371|1896|round=-3|about=yes|link=yes}}.[6] After more than 40 years at that location, voters passed an {{US$|18000|1941|round=-3|about=yes|link=yes}} bond issue to fund a new library building. The new building was designed in an Art Deco style and completed in {{Date|1941}}.[3] In {{Date|November 2008}} Measure H was passed narrowly by voters in the city of Martinez to renovate and expand the library. The bond specified a designated children's area, youth recreational opportunities, and improving disabled access.[7] The {{US$|2000000|2010|round=-3|about=yes|link=yes}} renovation work started in {{Date|November 2010}} and the library continued operating for 25 hours per week in a temporary location in the old train depot near Martinez station.[8] The library continued operating in the interim Depot Library until {{End date|2011|8|13}} when it closed to transition back to the renovated building.[9] The Martinez Library held the Grand Reopening on Saturday {{Date|August 20, 2011|mdy}} with over 1000 visitors entering the library that day. New self-service stations were installed along with new furniture and additional computers.[10] ModernThe Martinez Library offers a variety of activities and resources for their patrons. Activities vary from story time and lego workshops for children to book clubs for adults.[11][12] The library actively seeks to expose patrons to other cultures and has been hosting Chinese Lunar New Year celebration since {{Start date|2009}}. Lion dance and other Chinese cultural traditions have been showcased along with crafts.[13] Lunches were provided to children and teens three days a week in the summer as part of the California Summer Meal Coalition. Many of the families that visited for the program had not been to the library before and had been unaware of the services offered beyond book lending. Library usage increased with the implementation of the program.[14] GallerySee also{{Portal|San Francisco Bay Area}}
