Winthrop Public Library

The Winthrop Public Library’s mission is connecting the people of North Central Washington to vital resources and opportunities that foster individual growth and strengthen communities.

NCW Libraries* is proud to serve the residents of Chelan, Douglas, Ferry, Grant, and Okanogan Counties since 1960. Our 14,497 square-mile service area is roughly the size of Massachusetts and Connecticut combined – making us geographically the largest library district in Washington State.

We operate 30 community libraries, and provide service to our most rural residents through our popular Mail Order Library and two bookmobiles. The Library’s website provides library cardholders with free access to eBooks and digital audiobooks as well as a large number of online resources, including Lynda.com, the New York Times, Consumer Reports, Rosetta Stone, and more. We also provide outreach services to Head Start programs, preschools, nursing homes, senior retirement centers, youth detention facilities, jails, farmers markets, and more.

We are able to expand our reach through partnerships with school districts, community colleges, healthcare providers, local businesses, and community resource providers. 

*In 2020 North Central Regional Library changed its name to NCW Libraries to better reflect the communities we serve and this place we call home.

North Cascades Mountain Guides

At North Cascades Mountain Guides, our mission is to provide high quality, low-ratio guided climbing and backcountry skiing trips.  We feel that the quality of our guides and our commitment to low ratio trips are what sets us apart from many other companies.

North Cascades Mountain Guides are true professionals with decades of guiding experience.  The majority of our guides are trained and certified by the American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA) and the owners are instructors and examiners for the AMGA.  Our goal is to provide exceptional mountain experiences by having the best guides in the business and by only offering low-ratio, high-quality trips to the most amazing mountain ranges in the world.

When you climb or ski with North Cascades Mountain Guides you will be heading into the mountains in a small group with a highly skilled guide.  This not only increases your margin of safety but also ensures all participants individual attention and the highest quality experience possible.  Depending on the objective, we will limit the number of climbers or skiers to guides to maintain an effective ratio. This may be as many as four guests to one guide for a top-rope climbing session or moderate ski tour, while more difficult alpine ascents will only allow one climber or skier per guide. Our ratios are often 1/2 of what other companies allow. Once people have experienced the difference, very few will ever return to high ratio guiding.
