The Kitsap Regional Library is a public library system in Kitsap County, Washington. Founded in 1944, the library system serves over 260,000 Kitsap residents with nine locations across the county and through a variety of outreach services.
The Library provides access to over 500,000 items in its physical collection as well as access to downloadable eBooks, audiobooks, magazines and music. Library patrons can also access popular digital resources such as AllData Repair, Ancestry.com, Consumer Reports, Learning Express and Mango Languages.
Kitsap Regional Library is a primarily tax-funded nonprofit organization overseen by a five-member Board of Directors. Board members represent the five geographic regions of Kitsap County - which include Bainbridge, Bremerton, North Kitsap, South Kitsap and Central Kitsap - and are appointed for five-year terms. The 2017 operating budget for the Library is $12,165,400.
Along with these funds, the Library relies on local civic organizations, eight Friends of the Library organizations, Bainbridge Library, Inc. and the Kitsap Regional Library Foundation, which contributes approximately $300,000 combined annually to support programs and the maintenance of Library spaces. Additionally, the efforts of these groups have made possible the building of a new library in Kingston and the purchase of land for a future new library in Silverdale.
