Morgan Hill Library was the second library to be established under the new county library system. It opened in the Goold's Department Store on the corner of 2nd Street and Monterey Road, and offered a few shelves of books behind a curtain. Open hours were from 2 p.m. - 5 p.m. Before incorporating with the County Library system, Morgan Hill Library had maintained a “traveling library” with cases of 50 books.
