Bandon Public Library Website: https://www.bandonlibrary.org/ 

The purpose of the Bandon Public Library is to obtain, organize and make conveniently available to all the people of the community informational, educational and recreational materials. These materials may be books, periodicals, newspapers, audiovisual items and computer databases. It is the policy of the Bandon Library to maintain up-to-date material in all fields of knowledge as well as current issues and items of local interest within the constraints of each year's budget realities.

The Bandon Public Library is a member of the Coos County Library Service District, which receives its funding through a dedicated tax rate. Other members of the Service District are the libraries of Coos Bay, Coquille, Dora, Lakeside, Myrtle Point, North Bend, and Powers. The District also provides for the county-wide library computer system and for shared services, such as the courier van and outreach service to the jail and nursing homes. As a member of the Service District, the Bandon Library serves all Coos County residents without charge.

In April 2017, the five Curry County Libraries joined the Coos County Libraries in service to residents.  Agness, Brookings, Gold Beach, Langlois and Port Orford added their libraries and collections to the Coastline system. 

To request materials from any library within the Coastline system,  access the online catalog or come into the Bandon Public Library and staff will assist you.

Funding:
The Library is operated primarily out of the Library Fund, which receives most of its revenues from the Coos County Library Service District. Due to changes brought about by Measure 50, the District now has a permanent tax rate replacing the former tax base. The use of this money is governed by an intergovernmental agreement between the City and the District. The Library also has a memorial fund for gifts and donations.
