Tillamook County Library

Beautiful library. Well laid-​out. Easy to find. Everyone is so nice — and extremely helpful.

So agree with the reviewers’ comments… hung out here for an entire afternoon, and bowled over by such a great civic place for a small town.
Weekend out of Pdx, spending it in the area…
Wonderful.

For a town that just screams illiteracy, this is a gorgeous library. Free concerts in the community room, free wi-​fi, a great childrens’ section, current and well stocked books, awesome CD /​DVD collection, well staffed, and a nice layout. Once you get inside and escape the smell of all of the dairy cows, this is something that Tillamook can be proud of. It is nice to see something that isn’t domestic violence, methamphetamine, nor incest related happening in Tillamook. Hey, I don’t make this stuff up, it was one of your own cops nailed for incest, and that whistling noise (air blowing through the collective lack of teeth) is not my fault either (wink). Just say NO, Bubbas!!! This library gives visitors like myself a wee bit of hope.

Awesome book selection, internet, magazine selection, movie, cd, dvd collection, children section. The staff is very helpful and friendly. What is there not to like. Sarah Charnelton, director of library, did a great job in building the library, and running the library.

Stellar Library! I spent many hours here browsing and hanging out online.

This is a great library! Particularly when you consider it’s in such a small town (the city of Tillamook is about 4,500 people and the entire county is only about 25k). It is quite new (built less than 5 years ago, I believe) and as I said, considering the population it serves is pretty decent size.
It is one of only two places I can think of that has public wi-​fi in Tillamook (La Mexicana being the other), which if you don’t have internet at home can be very important.
It’s not open terribly late (but I suppose most libraries aren’t) and it’s not open at all on Sundays which can suck if you have a normal job – it leaves only Saturday on the weekend when you’re actually able to go.
Sadly I have only checked out one book from here. They do have a decent selection including keeping the new releases well updated. They also have a good selection of CDs and DVDs. They have a good selection of Oregon legal materials (which is important to me personally), maps, etc.
All in all a great place to go and check out and spend some time at – especially if you need wi-​fi.
