The La Conner Library will close Sept. 1in order to transition to the new La Conner Swinomish Library building at 520 Morris Street. The Library will reopen in October. We are very excited to be moving to the new location and look forward to welcoming everyone to the new La Conner Swinomish Library!
What to expect until we reopen:
The book drop will remain open throughout the move. Please keep your items as long as you like. We do not charge late fines, but if you wish to return your items before we reopen in October, the book return at the old library remains available.
Phone service during September will be message only. If you need assistance, please leave a voicemail or send us an email at [email protected] and we will get back to you as soon as we are able.
WiFi will no longer be available at the old library. We hope to have a smooth transition to the new location and will announce when it is available on the library Facebook and web pages.
We will be communicating updates and other information during the transition through the following means: La Conner Weekly News, library Facebook page, library website, voicemail and email.
Moving the books
We greatly appreciate the many offers to assist with moving the collection to the new library. Because of supply chain delays, interior work on the library, including shelving, is still ongoing. We will be contacting everyone who has expressed interest in moving the books as soon as we know dates for this. Parents and children are welcome! If you would like to assist with this move and have not already signed up on our contact list, please give us a call or email [email protected] and we will add you to our list.
Washington Anytime Library
While library services will be paused during the move, access to the Washington Anytime Library will still be available through your personal electronic devices connected to the internet. Visit the app store on your smartphone or tablet and download Libby. With this, log in with your library card number and the last four digits of the phone number connected to your account and continue borrowing eBooks, audiobooks and eMagazines from us. Or, search Washington Anytime Library on your computer and login the same way.
Summer reading program complete
Visit the Library before Sept. 1 and show your reading log and collect your free book! If you missed us in August, please contact us by phone or email and we will schedule a time to connect. We are sure all the children did a wonderful job and we are excited to see how much reading everyone did this summer!
