Your library is the place to be this summer! Discover new books, take part in hands-on and science-based programs, explore the outdoors with StoryTrails, and enjoy exciting FREE events happening across all TRL locations and throughout the community. Can’t make it to a branch? Our Anywhere Library vans bring the fun to parks, schools, and neighborhoods across Grays Harbor, Lewis, Mason, Pacific, and Thurston counties. View the calendar to see where Anywhere Library is going and when!

Attend special events, see presenters and performers, and learn lots! Visit the TRL Events Calendar to see what’s happening near you and plan your summer of discovery!

Timberland Regional Library’s Summer Library Program (SLP) runs from June 1 to August 31 and is open to all ages—from babies to adults and everyone in between.

Join the fun by stopping by your local Timberland Library to sign up for SLP! Just for signing up you’ll receive: 

  • free book to keep (for ALL participants of any age!) 
  • A handy TRL tote bag to carry all your books (one tote per family) 
  • A paper SLP activity log to keep track of all the activities you do (for all participants of any age, there are four versions this year)

After completing one row of activities on your summer reading bingo card, you can go back to the library and receive a 2nd free book!

While supplies last, youth also receive a free ticket to Northwest Trek Wildlife Park or Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, opens a new window (for youth ages 12 and under) and free ticket to a Tacoma Rainiers game (for youth ages 4-13; children 3 and under always enter free).
