The Mark Twain Library was dedicated on October 28, 1908 at its first Annual Meeting. Mark Twain himself donated a collection of his books to be the library’s core collection. The library has undergone numerous changes throughout the years to accommodate the changing and growing population in Redding. Its most recent expansion began in February 2000 with its new opening on December 2, 2000.
