Our hearts are with the many individuals and families affected by the local fires. We are disheartened seeing our beautiful surrounding communities face this devastation.
Please know that we are here for you! Spokane Public Library locations are a safer-air space for those looking to get inside away from the elements. We have Purple Air Quality Monitors located at all of our locations. The information from the monitors is also accessible on their website or app so you can see air quality real-time: https://map.purpleair.com.
