Groveland Library Offers Friday Story Time, Monthly Book Club and Saturday Book Nook

GROVELAND, Tuolumne County — October 27, 2026. In the Highway 120 foothills, the Groveland Branch Library offers more than shelves of books. Tuolumne County’s official library page lists recurring programs for families and readers, including children’s story time, a monthly book discussion group and a Saturday Book Nook.

Three ways residents can participate

Children’s Story Time is listed for Fridays at 10:30 a.m., offering families a recurring local activity. The Library Lot Book Club meets on the second Friday of each month at 2 p.m. in the library’s downstairs meeting room. A separate Book Nook is listed on Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m., except holidays and other closures.

The listed programs are particularly useful for Groveland-area families, older residents and readers who may have to travel farther to larger library branches. As with any local recurring activity, schedules can change around holidays, staffing and community events.

Where is the library?

The county identifies the branch at 18990 Highway 120, Groveland, California 95321. Its local contact is 209-962-6144 and email grovlib@co.tuolumne.ca.us.

One county branch webpage lists Tuesday–Thursday public hours from noon until 6 p.m., and Friday–Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Another county branch directory displays a different Tuesday–Wednesday opening time. To avoid sending readers to a closed building, confirm current hours with the Groveland branch before traveling, especially if visiting specifically for a club meeting.

How libraries support a rural community

Shared library space provides opportunities to meet neighbors, exchange ideas, help children build early reading habits and find information locally. The county’s program listing does not promise that every meeting is held without interruption, so anyone organizing group attendance should call ahead.

For families new to Groveland, library programming can be a practical point of connection alongside schools, parks and local events. Residents interested in starting or joining additional book discussions can ask staff about available programs and meeting room policies.
