DMC invites public to explore and enjoy the new features, services at newly renovated White Library
In 2014, Del Mar College District voters approved a $157 million bond referendum to fund capital improvements on the Heritage and Windward campuses. Those project list included the William F. White, Jr. Library on the Heritage Campus. The White Library was originally built to support five floors and first opened in October 1967 with two floors. In 1979, the college added the third through fifth floors, finishing the top floor for use in 1998. The facility’s namesake served as a Del Mar College Regent for 33 years from 1951 until 1984. To celebrate the completion of the renovation project, the College held an Open House on April 10, 2025, to allow the general public an opportunity to view the transformation in person. Retired DMC librarian Alan Berecka read an original poem called “All Aboard” to close the public remarks portion of the event.
