Library news

Cathlamet library is one of only five libraries statewide who have been granted funding to host a paid summer teen internship. The teen will learn about working in a library and developing a connected learning project of their choice. This paid position is 18 hours per week, during regular hours, for 10 weeks. Applications are available at the library and must be returned to the library by Friday, June 6.

We’ve been reaching out to local schools, and our goal is for every student to have a library card. If you’re a student who doesn’t have one yet, just come on in and we’ll get you a free library card with access to the Libby app. We’d love to help you out on your journey in life.

A special thank you goes out to both Troy Gorley and the Cathlamet Woman’s Club for providing and installing a new toddler safety seat in the library restroom. Great job, everyone.
