The first library in Vancouver was the Carnegie Library built in 1909 at Main and 16th Street. The land on which it was built was donated by Mr. Lowell Mason Hidden. Today it is the site of the Clark County Historical Museum. |

In 1964 the library moved to 1007 East Mill Plain Blvd. This new facility was located on Fort Vancouver grounds and was named the Fort Vancouver Regional Library. |
