The Library Today

The Ocean Shores Library was established in 1972. Now located at 573 Pt. Brown Ave. N.W., the 4200 sq. ft. building opened in July 1993. Librarian Judy Stull heads a staff of 3 along with seven regular volunteers. The collection consists of 22300 volumes, 795 DVDs, and 950 music CDs. 51795 people visited the Library in 2008 and checked out 80650 items.

A five member Board, comprised of local citizens appointed to five-year terms by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council, governs the Library. The Board of Trustees meets the third Thursday of each month at 2 p.m. in the Library meeting room. Library services include voter registration, public Internet access (including WiFi), and a community meeting room. The Library currently has 10,000 registered borrowers, and serves not only Ocean Shores residents but visitors to the area as well. The Library is open Tuesday through Saturday, 37 hours per week.

Friends of the Library

In 2006 volunteers spent 394 hours helping in the Library. They shelved books, helped to repair and process books, assisted staff with programming, and worked on data entry. The Friends of the Library undertake much of this volunteer activity. Formed in 1972, they are an active group that provides substantial financial support for the Library. Their main fund raiser is a used book sale held on the second Saturday of each month, located behind the Permit Center at 710 Pt. Brown Ave. N.E. The Friends meet on the second Monday of each month at 2 p.m. in the Library meeting room. Friends of the Library dues are $10.00 per person per year, or $100.00 for a lifetime membership.
