In 1880 the residents of Puyallup decided they needed something to complete and expand their town. So they began building a city library by renting a room and employing Puyallup's first librarian, Francis McCoy. Today, the beautiful Puyallup Public Library sits on the edge of Pioneer Park.
The Puyallup Public Library is now a gorgeous artistic community feature with sculptures outside and a grand staircase to the second story -- all of which overlooks the greenery of Pioneer Park. Amenities such as computer terminals, a kids books section and kiosks help patrons find the correct resources. The library also features a variety of programs for kids, teens and adults, making it a social and resourceful community fixture.
