The Yachats Public
Library was established by Ordinance 36 in November 1973 stating "The
City of Yachats does hereby establish a public library to be
known as the 'Yachats Public Library' to be operated and funded
by the said city and to be used for the educational and cultural
benefit by the citizens of the said city in accordance with the
rules and regulations of the said library."
- Volunteers and Library
Commission Members operate and manage the Library.
- The Summer Reading Program is
always a big success, and at very little cost to the City
because the volunteers develop the materials rather than
purchase them.
- An on-going book sale at the
Library accounts for the majority of
"donations" received each year in addition to
the various fund raising events during the year such as
the annual Book Sale each spring.
- Although no late-charge is
required, a donation box on the desk is filled on a
regular basis.
- Library cards are free and
even visitors can check books out while they vacation in
Yachats.
- Our library
has managed to mix the old fashioned with the new. We
have public access computers with the latest Microsoft
software, including Encarta encyclopedia and Magic Bus
for children. Internet access is available over our WiFi
connection. The computers are available to the public on
a first come first serve basis and are limited to
30 minutes when there is a waiting list.
- We have a
growing collection of Large Print books, Books on CD and
a Northwest Collection.
- The library hosts a perpetual
exhibition of paintings, drawings, and photographs by the
Yachats Arts Guild. The exhibited works are changed every
few weeks.
- The library also houses the
Yachats Seed Bank, a repository of vegetable seeds
offered free to gardeners. The Seed Bank displays a wide
selection of cookbooks, gardening manuals, and guides for
developing community sustainability.
