Terra McLeod, Branch Manager
The Goldendale Community Library is very happy to share some popular and new programs to look forward to this year. Also look for us on the Klickitat County Bookmobile with special Saturday visits during the spring and fall as well as at local fairs and parades!
In celebration of Klickitat County joining FVRL 50 years ago this year, we have a special reading challenge for all ages. Simply read 50 hours throughout the year, log it either on paper, or online at https://fvrl.beanstack.com/ and be entered in a drawing for a $50 gift card. Here’s to the next 50 years!
