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.

Don't let the outage stop you from visiting our friends at Ohme Gardens! 🌿

Have you seen the ongoing system-wide disruption happening at Chelan County Government and its departments? We are also impacted at Ohme Gardens.

Ohme Gardens is owned and operated by Chelan County. That means our website has been down for the past 10 days. Our email is also down. (If you are sending us an email, we aren't getting it.) Our computer systems are also down. And there is no timeline on when the website and email will be back up.

That said, our phone system is separate from the county! And we are open! If you have a question, give us a call at 509-662-5785.

Come visit! And be reminded that life is better in the trees and gardens, away from all that technology stuff. 🥰🥰
