Fort Vancouver Regional Library District, headquartered in Vancouver in Southwest Washington state, was established in 1950 as the first inter-county rural library district in the state. The district has grown since 1950 to serve all of Clark, Skamania and Klickitat Counties, and the city of Woodland and the independent Yale Valley Library District in Cowlitz County.
With thirteen libraries, three bookmobiles, a Vancouver operations
center, and dial-up and Internet access to electronic services, Fort Vancouver Regional Library
District provides information resources and services, and community and cultural events for a population of more than 425,000 residents. The service area is more than 4,200 square miles and includes farm, open range and national forest lands, communities along the Columbia River, small towns and expanding urban and industrial areas.
Branch libraries are located in the communities of Battle Ground, Cascade Park, Goldendale, La Center, North Bonneville, Ridgefield, Stevenson, Three Creeks (Salmon Creek area), Vancouver (main library), Vancouver Mall, Washougal, White Salmon Valley, and Woodland.
By virtue of being part of a major regional library district, citizens in even the smallest communities have access to professional information services staff, Internet access, world-class research databases, and a library collection that includes more than 780,000 books, magazines, videotapes, DVDs, and audio book CDs, tapes and PlayAways®.
