Welcome to the Hunt Branch Library

Where History Meets Celebration!

The Hunt Branch Library has a story as rich as its architecture. Originally opened on September 12, 1962, as a generous gift from Norton Simon’s Hunt Foods, this mid-century modern gem was designed by renowned architect William Pereira. Nestled in a serene park-like setting, it quickly became a beloved community space—loaning an impressive 37,000 books in just its first 90 days!

For over 50 years, the Hunt served as a vital second branch of the Fullerton Public Library until its closure in 2013. But great stories always have a comeback! Thanks to dedicated efforts from city staff, the Fullerton Public Library Foundation, and the Library Ad-Hoc Committee, the Hunt was restored and reopened in April 2024, bringing new life to this historic landmark. With ADA-compliant upgrades, new windows, enhanced lighting, and beautifully maintained grounds, the library is once again a cherished Fullerton treasure.

And now, the Hunt Branch Library is more than just a library—it’s the perfect place to celebrate life’s special moments! Whether you’re planning a birthday, wedding, quinceañera, retirement party, or any other unforgettable event, this historic and beautifully restored space provides a unique and charming backdrop for your celebration.
