Wenatchee Public Library

Wenatchee Public Library Wenatchee Public Library is part of NCW Libraries in Washington state.

Wenatchee’s first library was opened to the public in 1912 after the city received $10,000 from the Carnegie Corporation to fund the project. By 1930, the library had become too small for the community, and the children’s materials were moved to another location. In 1939, the library moved to a larger building, and plans were soon made to build a new library for the city of Wenatchee. The current

library was opened for service in 1959, and the building
has been carefully maintained and rearranged to meet our community’s changing needs. There were no major or structural renovations until 2013, when the Wade family generously donated funds to build an engaging and greatly expanded space for children’s books and services.

We just wrapped our Summer flower workshop series; Bouquets by You! Thank you to all who attended. We sure had a ball listening to Dolly Parton, creating some whimsy together, and connecting.

A huge shout out to Feathers & Flowers and Lisa at Peach Blossom for the flowers it truly was a treat to work with you all!

The world lost a treasure today. Rest well, Dolly. She will leave an indelible mark on the country music scene as well as the community of readers who adored her. Her Imagination Library put free books in the hands of children around the world, as she dedicated her later years to promoting reading and early childhood literacy.

Yay! We hope you have a safe move to the new building Chelan Public Library, three cheers for a little more space while the structural changes are happening!

📍 We're moving!

Our pop-up library in the Chelan Public Library lobby closes Friday, August 21. We're reopening Monday, August 31 in a bigger temporary space at 503 E. Highland Ave #207, the old Chelan Hospital building which is now known as The HUB: Lake Chelan Business Center.

What that means for you:

📚 More shelves, more to browse
💻 More public computers
🎉 Room for programs again
🪑 Somewhere comfortable to sit

Open through the end of the year while the City's repairs move forward. The refreshed Chelan Library opens in 2027.
