Access Your Way at Tigard Public Library!
Here are five ways to access Library resources that you may not
have tried.
1. Holds Lockers: Next time you place a hold, try our Holds
Lockers for quick, convenient pick up. The Lockers are
located in the Library Lobby and available beginning at 9 AM
Monday through Friday.
The Holds Lockers are part of a two-year pilot project in
partnership with the WCCLS, funded by the Coronavirus Aid,
Relief, and Economic Security (CARES).
2. Libby: Delete your pay-to-read apps. The Libby app allows
you to access the WCCLS collection of e-books and e-audio
anywhere!
3. Kanopy: Movies? We have an app for that too. The Kanopy
app gives you free access to thousands of movies with your
WCCLS library card.
4. Adventure Pass: Your WCCLS library card can take you
places... Places like Five Oaks Museum, Lan Su Chinese
Garden, or the Portland Art Museum. See the full list.
5. Books to Go: The Books to Go collection lets you borrow
without a library card or due dates. You'll find Books to Go
collections for kids and teens.
