Your Community, Your Libraries

Did you know that your libraries are a nonprofit? Usually, library buildings and services are funded by cities. Located in an unincorporated area, the Cedar Mill and Bethany communities are not eligible for city funding. That didn’t stop local residents from opening a nonprofit library in 1976! As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, your Cedar Mill and Bethany Community Libraries Association relies on direct support from members like you to fund library services not covered by county funding. As a member of your Cedar Mill Community Libraries Association, you’re an integral part of growth in our community. Become a member by making a gift today.
