21st Century Library Community Conversations
In 2015, Spokane Public Library began a systemwide study in order to coordinate services, facilities, and resources with emerging community needs. We met with stakeholders throughout the community to guide our process and have developed a draft vision for the next 20 years of library service to Spokane residents.
Now, we’re asking for your input. Learn about the study, and give us your feedback on the Library’s 20 year outlook.
The seventh, and final, 21st Century Library Community Conversations event is today, June 15th, at the East Side Library at 7pm.

We welcome your feedback any time. Please email us: ideas@spokanelibrary.org
Literary Classics in the Northwest Room
The Northwest Room at the Downtown Library has a new exhibit highlighting some of the literary classics from England and the United States in our rare book collection.
This small assortment of novels, tales and poetry includes first editions of Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter and Nature by Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Be sure to stop by the Northwest Room for a look at these rare books.
