Online calendar makes library events easy to track
We've improved the look and functionality of the district's online events calendar. You can search for events by location, date or type; get complete event descriptions; and view handy maps, too. Best of all, you can sign up for email reminders of events or an RSS feed. Look for library events

FVRL will introduce a new kind of facility: LIBRARY EXPRESS
clip art When it opens in September of 2012, Yacolt Library Express will be the first of its kind in Southwest/South Central Washington. This new type of facility evolved out of the need to find a more effective way of delivering library resources to rural populations when the Clark County bookmobile ends service on June 29 (see bookmobile news release for details). Yacolt Library Express will be housed in a 400-square foot space in the former Yacolt city hall, shown in the photo, following remodeling of the building by the Town of Yacolt. Read more about this exciting development.
