About Us

The Pendleton Public Library has served the city of Pendleton since 1987, prior to this time the Pendleton branch of the Umatilla County Library was housed in the Carnegie Library building, on North Main Street (Now Pendleton Center for the Arts).

We are pleased to offer a variety of services both in person and online. The library is a place to gather as a community, study independently, develop personal interests and engage with books and technology.

The Advisory Board of the Pendleton Public Library consists of 7 members appointed by the Mayor and Council and meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 6:00pm. Members of the public are always welcome to attend.

The Pendleton Public Library receives financial support from:

The Umatilla County Special Library District, a county-wide, tax-supported, public library district which works in partnership with libraries to advance and make available excellent library services, programs and continuing education opportunities for all.

Pendleton Friends of the Library, a non-profit organization, the mission of which is to, focus public attention on the library’s services, facilities, and needs; and to stimulate gifts of books, magazines, desirable collections, endowments, bequests, and memorials to enhance the library and its service to the community.
