NCW Libraries Information

Established in 1960, NCW Libraries provides public library service to over 250,000 people in Chelan, Douglas, Ferry, Grant, and Okanogan counties. Our 14,497 square-mile service area comprises about 1/4 of Washington State's land-surface area. Geographically, NCW Libraries is the largest library in Washington State. Management and control of NCW Libraries is vested in a regional board consisting of two trustees from Chelan and Grant Counties and one trustee from each of the three remaining counties. NCW Libraries is supported almost exclusively by property taxes and proportional fees from incorporated cities and towns that choose to contract with the regional library. Access to the library's collection of over 700,000 books and other materials is available through 30 community libraries, two bookmobiles, and Mail Order Library Service.
