“Bibliotecas del Valle de Yakima: juntos potenciamos, inspiramos y conectamos”
Ubicadas en el hermoso y agrícola condado de Yakima en el centro-sur del estado de Washington, las Bibliotecas del Valle de Yakima prestan servicios a todo el condado con excepción de la ciudad de Grandview. Con 4296 millas cuadradas, el condado de Yakima es el segundo más grande del estado. Las Bibliotecas del Valle de Yakima son un distrito tributario para jóvenes que se sustenta principalmente a través de impuestos locales a la propiedad y brinda servicios bibliotecarios de calidad al público en general.
The rural county library district was formed in 1945 and is now comprised of a central library and 15 community libraries located throughout Yakima County.
