Library Wish Lists @ Local Bookstores
The Friends of the Hood River County Library has decided to create wish lists at the local bookstores Waucoma Bookstore, 212 Oak Street and Book Stop, 13 Oak Street, so we can have new books for our library. The Friends group is hoping community members will contribute by purchasing one or more books from the wish lists. The wish lists will be updated at the first of every month, so community members will have a chance to contribute all year round.
If you have any questions, please contact the library.
