📖 About Grant County Library
The Grant County Library is the public library for John Day and the surrounding ranch country of Grant County, in the Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon. It has served the public since 1956 and sits at 507 South Canyon Boulevard, a short walk from the John Day River. The library belongs to the SAGE Library System, a consortium of more than 70 member libraries across eastern Oregon that share a single catalog and move materials between towns by courier, so a small-town card reaches a much larger collection. Alongside its books, large-print titles, DVDs and reference materials, the library offers free public computers, printing and Wi-Fi, and it connects residents to statewide digital services including Library2Go eBooks and audiobooks, the OSLIS research tools and Dolly Parton's Imagination Library for young children.
