📖 About Harrington Public Library
Harrington, Washington was first settled in 1879 and incorporated in April 1902, taking its name from W. P. Harrington, a California banker who invested heavily in the surrounding dryland wheat farms. The town's public library stands on South 3rd Street and is part of the Wheatland Library Consortium — a regional Koha-based catalog network serving eastern Washington rural communities. The library offers a curated print collection across fiction, nonfiction, and children's genres, public internet computers, and free access to eBooks and audiobooks through the Libby app. Story Time every Friday morning and Lego at the Library sessions welcome families, while the Washington Anytime Library and Washington Rural Heritage Project extend digital reading and regional history resources to every cardholder at no cost. The Library Board meets the second Tuesday of each month and community members are welcome to attend.
