Palouse Library

Palouse Library The community's #1 resource for education, information, recreation, and discovery. Whitman County Rural Library serves residents across 14 branches countywide.

The Palouse Library, which shares a building with City Hall, is conveniently located in downtown Palouse. A local resource not to be overlooked, it provides access to books, hotspots, laptops, newspapers, fiber internet, and much more to patrons of all ages. Founded by a group of determined women in the year 1920 and supported by the town ever since, the Palouse Library has always been a place of

knowledge and neighborliness. In 1947, however, the Palouse Library began contracting with the Whitman County Rural Library District - which is still the case today. The Palouse Library is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 12:30 p.m.-6 p.m. Give us a call at 509-878-1513 or email [email protected]. A complete list of programs for children, teens, and adults can be found on our website, as well as our online catalog and free digital resources: www.whitcolib.org.

This past Saturday, a bunch of adventurous Palouse people hopped aboard a school bus and went to see a movie that featured the exact theatre they were sitting in. Beautiful all around 🎬

Thank you to the amazing folks at the Tekoa Empire Theatre, the Palouse School, the Palouse and Tekoa Library, the Friends of the Whitman County Library, and the Robert Osborne Film Fund for making dreams come true.
