The Mid-Columbia Libraries' Kennewick Branch opened May 19, 1999. However, service in Kennewick began much earlier than that. In August of 1949, the library was moved from a temporary location to a more permanent building vacated by the Bank of Commerce until funding for a new library building could be acquired. The Kennewick library is the largest of all 12 Mid-Columbia Libraries branches with approximately 40 percent of the library system’s total circulation, including eBooks. Staff welcome thousands of visitors each month for storytimes, community lectures, and special programs. Beyond their front doors are endless opportunities at the adjacent Highlands Grange Park. You can skate, play basketball or tennis, take a stroll through the amazing Demonstration Gardens, get married under the gazebo, or dash through the whimsical nautical themed fountains on the playground.
