LINK to the Library: A Spring Tour

Looking for an indoor/outdoor adventure on a spring afternoon?  How about a tour of libraries that are walkable from light rail stations? 

Check out the smooth ride on the LINK light rail, step outside to take in some spring greenery, and then retreat into some engaging library spaces to explore the collections.  Depending on the day, you might be able to take in a free library event along the way.

The libraries below are all near light rail stations – though some are closer than others.   Click on the links below to view the library hours and the calendar of events at each location.   Light rail station pages include maps of the immediate area.  The light rail runs quite often, but the Central Link Page will give you a better idea of fares and times.

    Nice post Jay. What about Rainier Beach Station? Do you think it’s too far to walk?

    1. Great suggestion! The Rainier Beach Branch would be a wonderful addition to a walking tour. Links to the library page, light rail station, and Feet First walking map are all below.
