Pendleton Community Public Library — Attraction in Pendleton

I cannot say enough great things about this library! The daytime staff is friendly and helpful, the story times and programs are always enjoyable, they have a nursing mother's room, and so much more!

The improvements made over the last year or so were very intentional to meet the needs of the community. The technology available to patrons helps get the most out of having a library card, including text or email reminders for holds and items coming due or overdue, and they recently implemented auto-renewal for items you have checked out.

They even have museum passes and events passes for families. Please check this place out if you're in the area and need something to do. Lots of quiet rooms and places to be alone, as well as playing areas for kids. Easy 5 stars for this place. Delivers and exceeds the promise of a...

The Pendleton Library has been a community staple for ages. It was great when I was a kid and after all the continued renovations and expansions it's even better now as a parent myself.
