City of Wasco, Oregon

The Wasco City/Community Library is an all volunteer library that has been a long time tradition in our little city. Through the generosity of the city of Wasco, the library is housed in City Hall and partially funded. However, without community support of both time and money, the library could not continue to exist. Unlike the Gorge Link libraries we are not state funded, however we do work in partnership with them. Books can be ordered from Gorge Link libraries through the internet and dropped off and picked up at our library as a courier service to the community. You can even get a Gorge Link library card from us, but you don’t need it for the Wasco C/C Library books.

Other services available include two public access computers with printer, a copy machine and WiFi service within 400 ft. Although there is a small fee for printing and copies to cover expenses, all other services are free of charge. We are a user friendly, self serve library, built upon the trust and co-operation of our borrowers.

Many of our patrons are impressed by the variety and amount of current selections available. We have something for everyone:

Our non- fiction and childrens' sections are in the back room.
For our pre-readers we have board books, videos and DVDs including Baby Einstein and First Words Signing.
Toddlers and preschoolers will enjoy our picture books and Early Reading and Steps to Reading series.
