Their grounds frequently host larger music events than you’d ever expect at a library. Recommended place to visit even if there’s nothing going on for their fascinating selection of books for sale, authentic Big Sur vibe and giant cat.

Golden State Theatre
Restored to its former glory, this historic theater features an enormous
1928 Wurlitzer pipe organ and an ambiance that must be seen to be appreciated.
The theater hosts concerts big and small, having hosted B.B. King, Willie Nelson, Yes,
and Jerry Seinfeld. On many weekends local bands perform in the theater lobby for an
inexpensive cover charge.
