Mesa Public Library is the Los Alamos branch of the Los Alamos County library. The library started in 1943 as a subscription library, after the donation of $5 by 70 families living in Los Alamos. In 1945 it became free and open to all. In 1981 the White Rock Branch Library opened in White Rock. In 1994 the main library moved into its current building west of Fuller Lodge. And in 2015, the White Rock Branch Library moved into its respective new building next to the Youth Activity Center and across from the Smith's grocery store. The library collection has more than 160,000 items which include books, CDs, videotapes and other.
