Library
Exciting News! Your community has a new youth public library kiosk installed inside Hilda Lahti School.
Who can use the kiosk?
- If your child has a public library card through ROCC, Astoria, Warrenton, or Seaside Public Libraries, they can check out books from the kiosk.
- If they don't have a public library card please fill out the application sent home with your child and send it back to school. You may also pick up a form at the kiosk, or school office and return it to the school office once completed.
- This service is available to all Clatsop County Youth ages 0-19 and they do not need to be a student at Hilda Lahti School to use it.
When can I use the kiosk?
The kiosk will be available for use when the school building is open and will continue to be available in the summer when the school library is open for the 2023-2024 Summer Reading Program. Stay tuned for days and times.
*This project was made possible thanks to LSTA (Library Services, Technology Act) Grant and a partnership between Libraries Reading Outreach Clatsop County (ROCC), Astoria Public Library, Seaside Public Library, Warrenton Community Library, and Knappa School District.
