What is the Siuslaw Public Library District?

The Siuslaw Public Library District is a stand-alone local government and taxing district covering a patchwork area across western Lane County. The District is governed by a five-member elected board of directors and managed by a library director. The Siuslaw Public Library District Board of Directors holds regular meetings the third Wednesday of each month at 2:00 p.m. Meetings are generally held at the Library - 1460 9th Street in Florence, OR - in the Bromley Room. Find agendas and other public notices on our main page.
