In 2018 Spokane citizens voted to invest in Spokane Public Library. Designs have been unveiled for enhanced children’s spaces at the new and renovated Spokane Public Library locations.

Around the bend, under the bridge, between those trees – find your way into Spokane’s hidden worlds.

Starting November 4, customers can make reservations for Grab-N-Go Access for light browsing and inside holds pickup. Masks and social distance required.
