💻 Great news — our public computers are back up and running at the Longview Public Library!

Public computers are more than just internet access — they help connect our community to jobs, education, healthcare, government services, research tools, and digital learning opportunities. For many community members, library computers are an essential resource for completing homework, applying for jobs, creating resumes, accessing telehealth appointments, filing forms, and building digital skills.

We’re excited to provide free, equitable access to technology and online resources for everyone in our community.

Stop by and log on!

In case you haven't heard, 1️⃣5️⃣ minutes of reading with your little ones is all it takes to bond with them, ignite their imagination and build a lifelong love of reading. Families don't have endless time, but just 15 minutes of reading a day can change your child's life. Build it into your evening routine or find a time between shifts to pick up your favorite Imagination Library book and help make a difference in your child's development. 💕📚✨

More library. More often.

Exciting news: Fort Vancouver Regional Libraries will roll out expanded hours beginning June 1! This expansion is part of a Levy Lid Lift commitment to increase access and reflects community feedback, including results from the district’s engagement survey.

Each county will have a library open on Sundays, and nearly all branches will offer additional hours. Visit our website to find your library's new hours: https://www.fvrl.org/new-hours/
