Hello and welcome to the UW Bothell and Cascadia Community College Library. We are part of the University of Washington Libraries, one of the largest academic research libraries in North America. The Libraries has a collection of more than six million volumes and hundreds of research databases.

This Library is part of UW Bothell Academic Services - which includes the Writing Center, Quantitative Skills Center, Information Technology and the Teaching and Learning Center.

Please visit our Bothell library in person or through our website. We are always looking for ways to improve the Library, and I welcome your comments and suggestions.
