The small town…read moreatmosphere lends well to cultivating meaningful relationships with professors, students, and staff that last well beyond college. These one-on-one interactions help students really discover who they are and can serve as excellent preparation for graduate school. I've even met some underclassmen doing graduate-level research with their professors (thanks to them being able to explore their passions and learn of openings in their preferred fields of study). They're innovating the curriculum to enable students to combine disparate interests into cohesive passions, so there's something for everyone. They're also building amazing dorms that I wish I had a chance to live in when I when to Whitman. Great places to live, learn, interact, and collaborate. They truly care about creating a place that's conducive to excellent quality of life. A great place to spend your formative years as an academic and as a person.

A library is a place for book lovers but here u can come for music, arts, kids time or even to rent a movie. It has different events on differnet days. Library is right next to park so ur kids can play n u can enjoy a good workout or just a sun bath walk. All in one place

I'm so happy to have this library downtown…read more I used to stop by when I needed a change of scenery after a couple hours working from a coffee shop and didn't want to purchase anything else. Their wifi never quite worked for my work laptop but I can use the hotspot data from my phone so it was never an issue for me. My work laptop stays home these days but we still stop by to use their printer (first three pages are free). I recently decided to stop using their computers to pull up the pages (to save time) and found that sending the pages from my phone (using the instructions from their website) works well for most things. We have also been enjoying their evening story time series. Many events for children are during my work hours so I'm glad there's at least one at 6pm. Thirty minutes is perfect for the reading and singing part in the meeting room. Some people also arrive at the library early and/or stay for a bit after if they'd like to chat or explore the library toys. They also have events for teens and adults but I haven't explored those yet.

They have a great selection,…read moreespecially of children's books, and also a nice play area to keep the smaller ones distracted while the big kids scan the shelves. Their online renewal system works great, and they've been very helpful with knocking down late fees when you need it (often through donating canned goods to wipe the slate clean)! They also frequently have special events for the kids, particularly during the summer months, to get them both excited about reading and out of the house.

Admittedly, the local homeless population sis also aware of this, so my last deuce had the ongoing soundtrack of an old man giving himself a full-body sponge bath in the handicapped stall, but hey, that's what happens when you free shit. The library itself is not bad. It was remodeled a few years ago into a boring, shitty modern building with no character and uncomfortable lounge chairs, but there's books, and it's hard to go wrong with books.

It doesn't look like a BIG building which holds much books. When you arrive to the parking lot…read moreunderstand there are more stalls in the back of lot. There is a drive thru option too! This neighborhood library is cozy and provides a space to do business, school, and research. There are plug-in for people to use their own devices with free wi-if access. The staff is helpful, and eager to help. The reading events are posted on the announcement board and the space is clean and odor free. Post COVID now, and all the library locations make it easy to access all resources with different needs in mind. Although masks are optional, people do mind their space. Thank you MID-COLUMBIA LIBRARIES FOR PROVIDING ACCESS TO LIBRARY MATERIALs during such interesting times!

I imagine that it would be helpful if you have a disability that makes going inside difficult, or are in a hurry and just want to pick up and return items quickly. I was disappointed though, that this library is so small inside. Although there is a regular library inside, there are basically three parts -- one area with about 10 computers for public use, one area for small kids (preschool-early elementary age) and then a small selection of books. It would be nice if they had tables that could be used for working or a study area for older children, teens, and college students. Still, it's a convenience that they added this West Pasco location. The inside is very nice and new, and even though it is not large there are a few chairs placed so that you can sit and read. Free wifi as well. I guess you can't have everything!
