Reading and Research

Books and Reading

The library has what you need to find your next good read. Working on researching a topic? The library can help. Need directions? The library is here for you. Here are just some of the resources we offer:

Call 503-691-3072 to talk to a librarian during library hours. We can provide quick answers, refer you to resources, and place requests for materials. For non-urgent questions, you can also email us at librarymail@tualatin.gov.

Ebooks and More
With your library card you have access to downloadable media on your computer or mobile device. Downloaded books or audiobooks can be transferred from your computer to your ebook reader or mp3 player, or if you have a mobile device, downloaded directly via the Overdrive and Libby apps.

Online Databases
Discover reliable, accurate information sources. WCCLS purchases specialized databases that provide information not available on free Internet sites. You can prepare for GED, US Citizenship, ASVAB or SAT and many civil service tests online, and even learn a new language. If you are not in the library you will need to log in with your library card.

Interlibrary Loan
Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a service through which you request materials that are not owned by libraries in Washington County. Interlibrary Loans come from other libraries all over the country… and sometimes the world! 

Submit Interlibrary requests online from WorldCat (please use this link and choose Tualatin as your library), in person, by phone to 503-691-3072, or by email to InterLibraryLoan@tualatin.gov.
