I could have sworn I already Yelped this Ranger Station, but I think I Yelped it when it was at…read moreit's older location (which is now sort of church). The main reason why I like this Ranger Station, is because it generally means I'm gearing up for an adventure, a mountain adventure. I generally stop here to get a NW Wilderness Pass, or get some advice on huckleberry picking. What's unfortunate is that many times I want to stop here, they are closed! How are you supposed to get Passes when the Ranger Station is never open. Yes, this is a major conundrum & Catch22-inducer. Stop here for a Pass, advice, a gander at their maps, or to pick up a nice gift. Oh, and also visit the loo before going Into The Wild.

They enjoy making the crafts and meeting other kids around town. They've met some nice friends there for sure! The library staff, Katy and Crystal, are wonderful and they are always happy to help if you have any questions or need help finding a certain book. They also are great about letting you know about happenings around town and with the Yakima Valley Libraries. I am glad that Naches has a library for the community! If you haven't gotten a chance to stop in, do so! It may be a tiny library, but it has so much to offer!

This is quite the impressive library in downtown Yakima!…read more A lot is changed in downtown since we last lived here roughly 15 years ago. Growing up, we definitely underutilized the libraries in town, but being away in areas where libraryuse was encouraged and where the activities there were sought out, we figured it was time to check things out in town. The library system throughout the valley is very impressive. Everything from Sunnyside on up to Yakima is well integrated and they have much more to offer than I previously appreciated. At the downtown branch, there is a lot of stuff to see and do! Just to the left after entering is a kids area with some toys, educational materials and lots of kids books. In the room past that, there's a sitting area for reading as well as plenty of computers if there something that you need to get done thereor if you just need Internet access. I believe it's a one hour time limit but it can be re-upped if needed. They have access to tons of different journals, online catalogs and even a couple of very industry specific programs. It's a nice option if you don't want to pay for such things at home. The upstairs is full of more books including a very impressive cookbook section. It's nice to have that option to grab one and try it out before buying. The folks that work here are incredibly pleasant and very helpful. In the summer times they even have a number of STEM related programs and activities for kids. Growing up here, I had no idea that these resources were available within the library system. Now that we're back, we're going to make sure that we utilize them!

The staff member reading the story was enthusiastic & encouraged the kids to participate with hand gestures & songs. They got to do water color painting afterwards, too.

We have made story time a regular event now :)

Schedules of kids activities, programming classes and other pleasantries were listed at the front desk. More than anything, I was surprised at the number of different sections to relax here. The children's area was bright and had plenty of area to read and be read to, in addition to a half a dozen computers. A number of study carousels are available for those wishing to get their study on, and all include plenty of outlets. Perhaps the coolest area they have here is the fireside reading spot - a few comfy chairs and a place for your coffee! More books that you can shake a stick at and a nice selection of DVDs for rentals. All in all, a lovely spot to read, study or just hang with the kiddos!
