The historic Pump House is a second hand book store operated by the Friends of the McCall Public Library. The historic little log building is on State Street across from St Lukes Medical Center and next door to the Central Idaho Historical Museum. Books are donated and sold for an average price of 50¢ to $1.00. Books on tape and CD, fiction, biography, trade books and hard backs, cookbooks and children’s books are donated, shelved, and sold by a crew of about 15-20 volunteers. The Pump House serves as the ongoing fundraiser for the Friends of the McCall Public Library.

Expanding our 45 year old Public Library to better serve McCall.
The McCall City Council will be voting on February 27,2020 regarding a proposed bond election option that would take the McCall Public Library Expansion project funding to the voters for approval. Your library was originally evaluated as inadequate in 2016, and after much public involvement, volunteer committee work, fundraising, grant writing and a large group of talented designers, construction specialists and library professionals this dream of an improved library to better serve the community is at the final stage.
