| The new Westport Library opened on December 5, 2006. The Library
was
built thanks to the fundraising efforts of the Friends of the Westport Library
with the support of the Timberland Regional Library Foundation and the Timberland Regional Library.
The new 2880 square foot library has a meeting room, separate adult
reading, children's and teen areas, all new shelving, more computers, a
nautical design befitting its setting, and a spacious, well-lit,
comfortable interior. The old library had just 950 square feet of
space.

construction project. |

Westport is a small fishing community located where the bay meets the ocean.
In 1963, residents of Westport put a library in a former fire station adjacent
to the Coast Guard Station. In January 1964, the Mayor and City Council voted to
set aside part of City Hall for the library. The Westport Library has been
housed in this facility ever since, first as part of the Rural Library District
of Grays Harbor prior to the formation of Timberland. In 1981 it joined
the Timberland system.
The Westport Library has:
- Books, videotapes, DVDs, CDs, audio cassettes, newspapers
and magazines for readers and library users of all ages.
-
Programs and events for children and adults.
- Computers with access to the Internet, Microsoft Office,
and online reference databases. One-hour computer sessions can be
reserved using the online reservation system or by calling the library.
- Free wireless Internet access in the library during regular open hours.
- A public meeting room that can be reserved for
community meetings and programs by calling the library.
Contact the library for information about the local
Library Board and the local
Friends group.
