Learn about next steps for our Strategic Plan

Thank you for participating in our recent community survey, focus groups, and one-on-one interviews. Your ideas and experiences are essential to shaping the future of our library, and we're deeply grateful for your time and insight. Your perspectives help us understand how to serve our patrons, partners, and neighbors with greater clarity and impact, and they guide our commitment to being a place where everyone feels in community in some way. Once this phase is complete, Coraggio Group will synthesize what we've learned into key themes reflecting community needs, aspirations, priorities, and service gaps. We look forward to continuing this work with you and sharing updates along the way. Thank you again for helping us build a library that reflects and uplifts all of Beaverton. Learn more.

WCCLS Student Library Card

This fall, 2,245 WCCLS Student Library Cards were mailed to new Beaverton School District students! Kids and teens can use their Student Library Card to check out five books or audiobooks at a time from the library, access ten eBooks or eAudiobooks through Libby, use online resources including Homework Help, and more. Wondering where your BSD student's library card is? They probably have one! Come to the library with any questions about your BSD student's library card. Learn more about the Student Library Card.
