A Beautiful Library:
The City helps bring library services to you by providing a lovely building for the Omak Library. The Omak Library is one of thirty different libraries in the North Central Washington Library system. Some of the features of the building are:
- Stained glass panels that have been commissioned as gifts or memorials to the library. The panels have been chosen to represent our historic and cultural heritage in the Okanogan Valley. It is worth a visit to the library to enjoy these fine examples of art in glass.
- Public Meeting Room The room features framed Frank Matsura photographs. Call the library at (509) 826-1820 to reserve the room for your community meeting at least 3 weeks in advance.
- Where is the library? The library is situated at the south end of Omak's Civic park, at 30 S Ash St, Omak.
The Library Offers:
- Books, Magazines, DVDs, and Audio Books. There is a 28-day Checkout period for books, a seven-day checkout period for DVDs, and a two-week checkout period for audio. Items can be renewed up to two times if there are no holds on the items. Visit our website to look at your account, events going on at your library, and to see what other items we offer.
- Book Club kits and Classroom Kits These kits are available online for checkout. Please visit our website to learn more about other items we offer.
- Interlibrary Loans. If the library does not hold the materials you want, the library can try to borrow them from other libraries across the nation in a system called Interlibrary Loan. So, if we don't have it ask us about it or request a purchase suggestion on our website!
- Databases. Visit our website to find resources, How-To information, and Education Opportunities that we provide. Learn a language, make a resume, find out how to repair your car, and more on our list of resources.
- Programming. Check the website for what is happening soon. Right now a lot of our programming is provided virtually.
- Internet Access. The library has 6 sit-down Internet stations and a printer. 15 pages may be printed for free, after that it will be $.10 per page. Staff is available to help within their capacity, even if you have never used a computer before.
- Summer Library Program. The library is proud to provide summer events and incentives to encourage children, teens, and adults to read during the summer. We have programs both virtually and in person, please check out our website on the Event page.
- Storytime The library is proud to provide modeling of essential skills children need before they learn to read. These skills are incorporated into fun and engaging Storytime with songs, and action rhymes for getting children off to a good start by having fun with books and future reading. Story-time is held the 1st and 3rd Thrusdays at 10am. Please check out our website for more programs.
- The North Bookmobile. Our bookmobile travels to the rural areas in our county that do not have a city library in town. These communities have an opportunity to browse a selection of books and have free wifi provided by the Bookmobile. We are taking books further! Please contact the North Bookmobile via the information on their web page.
The library is supported through property taxes of five different counties and a contract paid by the city of Omak to the library District.
