Libraries are where opportunity begins — for children learning to read, teens discovering who they are, adults building new skills, and seniors staying active and connected. They are one of the last truly public places where everyone is welcome, where learning is free, and where community comes to life.
This vote is about protecting our local system — Fort Vancouver Regional Libraries (see locations here ) — which serves hundreds of thousands across Southwest Washington with access, resources, and support that make a real difference in people’s lives every day.
Yes, it’s about books — books that teach, inspire, and open doors — but it’s also about so much more. It’s about the storytime that sparks a child’s imagination, the internet access that helps someone apply for a job, the quiet space to study, the welcoming programs that bring neighbors together, and the resources that meet people right where they are.
Without this vote, we risk losing much of what makes our libraries so essential — reduced hours, fewer programs, and cutbacks that hurt the very people who need them most. By voting yes, we’re saying we believe in access, opportunity, and the power of learning—for everyone.
Please join us in voting Yes for Libraries. Yes for Fort Vancouver Regional Libraries. Yes on Prop 1.

My Library Is... my primary source of books, both print and audio. I hardly ever buy books anymore. It is so easy and handy to be able to put them on hold!The wide selection of books is wonderful!
