Every day at opening time, crowds of people stream into the Downtown Eugene Public Library and the Bethel and Sheldon Branches. They are old and young, grandparents and parents with children, business owners and retirees, students, and individuals on a personal research mission. They come to find out about a prescription, attend a story time, read a magazine, check on their investments, study for a test, plan a trip, write a résumé, find a good book, or take home some music or a video. They come from all corners of Eugene and from all economic circumstances.

The Eugene Public Library is well-used and well-loved. There are nearly 100,000 active Library card holders, and the demand is ever-increasing. Numbers for visitation, circulation, and program attendance continue to break records. As the Eugene Public Library enters its second century of service, it remains THE destination for lovers of learning in our community.
