Their early library district was designed to serve the region's unincorporated areas, offering families a unique opportunity to explore the world through reading. Under the guidance of Neva LeBlond Bequette, the founding director, MidColumbiaLibraries instilled a pioneering spirit of innovation, relevance, and excellent service. They are committed to empowering people, supporting learning, and strengthening the community through literacy, enrichment, and connection.
