Beaverton City Library Main, located on the corner of 5th and Hall in historic downtown Beaverton, is a 69,000 sq. ft. full-service library. The main library has recently opened a makerspace and study rooms. It also provides meeting rooms and many storytimes and events, including an annual community-wide reading program, One Book, One Beaverton.

Beaverton School District students are also visited by outreach staff and provided with a WCCLS Student Library Card when they start school. The library hosts various Community Bookshelves providing free books within the greater Beaverton area, including at pediatrician offices, laundromats, Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District parks, and the Beaverton Transit Center.
