Happy National Library Week📚
Vashon Reads is proud to be one of the many libraries on Vashon!

It’s amazing how many different libraries we have on our little island. In addition to the traditional book library we have a tool library, medical equipment lending, musical instruments library, food preparation equipment library, baby clothes&parenting books library, and a Dish ware lending library for events. How cool is that!

Check your local chamber of commerce or google lending libraries in your community.

What an inviting reading nook Tosho the bookmobile provides.

We love watching readers of all ages make themselves at home, and find a new friend and adventure in a book.

These are memories that will last a lifetime.

It’s Give💚BIG time!
As a nonprofit we rely on our community and beyond to keep our mission strong.

That means adding to our library, keeping Tosho road ready, and paying the bills.

We are looking forward to spring and summer events to introduce Tosho to more island families.

We appreciate your support!
