"The Art of Information"
Popular library programs provide entertainment and learning opportunities for all ages -- see a list of upcoming events. When you're here, be sure to stop in to our library gallery to see what's on display. Individual artist exhibits may feature paintings, photos, quilts, tapestries or student artwork. Traveling exhibits often stop here in Stevenson. Our annual Artists of the Gorge juried art show has drawn interest to the community each year since it was first held in 1980.
We have a diverse collection of books and other materials. You can check out books on CD, non-fiction DVDs and large print materials as well. And of course we have materials on local history.
The Skamania County Pioneer is available on microfilm back to 1901. You can use the library's microfilm reader/printer (copies are 10 cents per page).
Public access computers are available for use free of charge. You can search the Internet or type your report or resume.
Bookmobile service is provided to outlying areas.
