Description
Marysville City Library (1920 - 1973), 301 4th Street, N.W. corner 4th and C Street. The John Packard Library of Yuba County is one of the oldest public libraries west of the Mississippi. It was originally organized by the Young Men's Literary and Scientific Association in 1855 as the Marysville Library Association. Hearing that the Marysville City Library was having difficulty maintaining quarters, mining magnate John Packard, a pioneer merchant of Marysville and a charter member of the Library Association, resolved to provide a building. In October 1900, Packard deeded to the City Of Marysville property on the corner of Fourth and C Streets. In 1905 he employed William Curtlett as architect and R. Dewar as contractor for the construction of the library.
