September 23rd, 2018

Walla Walla County Rural Library District is moving to a new Website and catalog on Thursday, September 27th. Our existing services will stop functioning at 5:00 pm on Sunday, September 23rd. Please be patient while we transition to our new Website and Catalog.




 Your library is offering a new reading program:
1000 Books Before Kindergarten
 

The program encourages parents and daycare providers to read 1,000 books to their infants, toddlers and pre-school age children before they enter Kindergarten.

How it works:
  • Visit your local library today and pick up your first reading log.
  • Track your reading by recording the titles of books read.
  • Return the reading log to your library when you reach 100 books for a free book and pick up your second reading log.
  • Continue reading and receiving free books until you reach 1,000 books!
Visit your local library to get started today!
