Welcome to the Tacoma Public Library!

spacerVisiting the library is always a marvelous adventure. You never know what surprises are waiting for you around the next bookshelf (or mouse click). There's lots to read, see and explore at the downtown Main Library, and at any one of our nine branch libraries scattered throughout the city.
