What’s New at the Library

Chromebooks are back!!!

Washington District Library now has Chromebooks available for WDL adult cardholders, again!

There are 3 Chromebooks currently.

The Chromebooks are housed at the Sunnyland Branch and can be checked out immediately, if available. Holds can be placed on them to have sent to the Main Library for pick up, if needed.

They check out for 1 week and can be renewed up to 1 time if there are no holds.

Due to the upcoming winter storm, both the Main Library and Sunnyland Branch Library will close at 12:00 PM on Thursday, December 22. We will reopen on Monday, December 26 at 9:00 AM.
