Your Library, Reimagined

Welcome Back to Your Pierce County Library

For Erica Johanson and her four young children, who are customers of the Graham Pierce County Library, re-opening libraries helps them enjoy free early learning books and materials, books and movies to help reduce stress, and even spaces to connect with their community. Erica is thrilled the Library System has learning books for her children and she loves checking out movies to help manage the stress of raising and juggling four young boys!

“I just love bringing my boys to the library,” she said. “I’m so excited that they get to be back in the building. There’s something for each of them and so many different ways to engage and entertain them. I’m so grateful to keep growing their love for books!” Visit your Pierce County Library and enter to win an iPad, now through June 30, 2022, thanks to a contribution from the Pierce County Library Foundation. We can’t wait to see you!
