Timberland Regional Library, Public library system in Western Washington, United States
Timberland Regional Library is a public library network in western Washington State, serving Thurston County through several branch locations. Each branch offers books, digital content, and computer access to residents and visitors.
The network was founded in 1968 as a pilot project aimed at reaching underserved areas of western Washington. Over the following decades, it grew into one of the largest rural library systems in the state.
The library features collections focused on Native American history and voices, and regularly hosts author talks with diverse perspectives. These gatherings bring the community together to discover different stories and ideas.
A library card unlocks access to digital services like video streaming and eBooks from home, so it is worth getting one on your first visit. Many branches also have computers and free Wi-Fi for visitors who need them on site.
