📖 About Hermiston Public Library
Hermiston Public Library is the public library of Hermiston, Oregon, a Umatilla County city of roughly 20,000 at the confluence of the Columbia Plateau and the Snake River Plain. Hermiston functions as the commercial and services hub for western Umatilla County, Morrow County, and adjacent parts of Gilliam County — a trade area of approximately 46,000 people — making its public library a key community anchor. The library belongs to the Sage Library System, the regional consortium that links public and academic libraries across Eastern Oregon, allowing cardholders to borrow from a shared catalog and request interlibrary loans. On-site, the library maintains a Maker Space for creative and technical projects, dedicated genealogy resources, public computers and printing, and a Books by Mail program that delivers materials to residents who cannot visit the building. The Discover & Go program offers free timed-entry passes to museums and cultural venues, redeemable online with a library card.
