Vanishing Ocean City With Bunk Mann

Ocean City was a seasonal town (Memorial Day to Labor Day) and didn’t get a full-time library until the mid-1960s. The Ocean City branch of the Worcester County Library opened in July 1966 on the corner of 14^th Street and Philadelphia Avenue. It served the community for over 40 years but had outgrown its cramped space by the time the building was demolished in April 2008.

A new “state of the art” library opened the same year at 100^th Street and Coastal Highway with the ability to serve Ocean City’s residents and visitors far into the future.
