August Pine Ridge is a village located in the Orange Walk District. The library officially opened its door to the public on Monday 8th November 1991. This was made possible by the acquisition of a large donation of books from the World Bank Book Project. A library committee was soon formed to establish and administer the library.

The high school students and their parents worked hard to renovate a large room in the Community Center. Furniture and materials were purchased. The Committee solicited donations from the Village Council and the area representative, Hon. Guadelupe Pech. Community fund-raising was accomplished by holding three video nights. One of the committee members, Mr. Percival Gideon, was acting as community technical assistant managing the library until Mrs. Paulita Reneau entered into the postion.
