Summer Reading
Every summer we partner with Seattle Arts & Lectures (SAL) to create a Summer Book Bingo card for adults. If you achieve bingo or blackout, you will be entered to win fabulous prizes! Download a bingo card online or stop by any Library branch to pick one up.
Outdoor Recreation
Plan a hiking, camping, biking, fishing or other outdoor trip this summer. We have free guide books, maps and other resources available for check out.
Seismic Retrofit Project
The Seattle Public Library Green Lake Branch, one of the Library’s historic Carnegie buildings, will be renovated with structural improvements (a seismic retrofit) to ensure the safety of patrons and staff in case of an earthquake. Construction will begin in October 2022 and is expected to be fully completed by June 2023.
The current Green Lake Branch was renovated and reopened March 6, 2004. Tall ceilings contribute to a sense of spaciousness and rich detailing and use of wood throughout the interior adds to the warm, historic feel of the branch.
