In December of 1896, the Women’s Club of Olympia established a library service with “reading matter” donated by citizens. In March 1909, the city offered to take over the collection of some 900 volumes and maintain a public library.

The Olympia library was housed in a Carnegie building at 7th and Franklin until 1978 when a new library was built and opened at 8th and Franklin.  Olympia joined the Timberland library district in 1968.

The Olympia 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 booking 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.
