History
The Garden Home Community Library began in 1983 when Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District took over a closed elementary school and made space available to local volunteers to organize and operate a library. The initial collection was focused on books for preschool children. In 1996 Garden Home became the twelfth public library in Washington County Cooperative Library Services. Originally in one classroom, the library expanded in 2004 and again in 2019 to its current size of 3,449 square feet. As a part of Washington County Cooperative Library Services, the library opens the door to an incredibly rich, county-wide collection of books, movies, music, games and more.
