Built with lots of big windows, wonderful seating areas all over, an award winning state library. Right in downtown Camas. It has a good area for reading many magazines. Some second story areas worth exploring.

Yakima Central Public Library

I recently attended a great program at the Library on the Yakima hip-hop scene. The program focused on Yakima’s diverse hip hop community. The program included about a dozen hip hop artists and an equal number of interested community members. The event was informative and engaging!

Yakima Valley Libraries

Reviewed By CATXWASteveG - Yakima, United States

There is nothing more important to a young child than being taught the joy of reading early. It will help them in every class they ever take in life. Make coming to the library a parenting habit, prioritize the time. Downtown location, there's usually parking right out front, but really never a long walk at all. The library has a great network, easy to find a book anywhere in their system and they'll bring it to the branch you want. Very friendly and helpful.

Seattle Public Library

Reviewed By Nakstrani - Austin, United States

This was almost a pilgrimage for us - world class architecture + books! Designed by Rem Koolhaas, this wonderful piece of modern architecture stands out among its neighbors. We rode up the elevator to the top floor for the views of the city. We walked down the ramps soaking in the various reading/reference/research areas. The second floor is dedicated to conference/seminar functions marked by bold red color. The kids section is on the left hand side of the lower entrance. They also have a cafe & shop. It felt great to have experienced world class architecture. Just one cautionary advice: the library seems to be overrun by homeless people, especially when it comes to the restrooms. We were warned (by the locals) against using restrooms at the library. So as long as you take appropriate care, you should be fine. We safely wandered in all nooks & corners thoroughly exploring the library with the exception of restrooms.
