It is the policy of the C. Giles Hunt Sutherlin Public Library to issue a library card to any resident of Douglas County. Cards may be obtained in person or by requesting one electronically. Visit the book catalog page from this webpage and look to the upper right hand page corner. Our in-person and digital library services are made possible, without charge, by generous donations from our awesome card holders, the Sutherlin Friends of the Library, the Sutherlin Library Foundation, the City of Sutherlin, and grants from foundations believing in the crucial importance of literacy.
Visitors are always welcome.
