If you want to keep your library, I'd reccomend you get off your butt (and off your computer) and go check out a book. And even if you really can't tear yourself away from the computer screen....dont worry. There is an alternative. They are all online, and up to date with technology, so you can browse videoes, dvd, books and anything else offered there, and place them on hold so you can pick them up at your convienience. There are still many excellent childrens programs offered here so if you're a tired mom (or dad) and want a break, bring your kids here for some metal adventures!!! Another super cool thing they offer is their cultural passes. They vary over time, but have included places like the Portland Childrens Museum, The Rhododendren Gardens, Pittock Mansion, The Chinese Gardens......and others. You can also pack a picnic and take your kids to Wait Park right across the street to get their energy out after their mental exercieses at the Library. Check it Out!!!!

SOOOO much cool art to look at in all mediums and very reasonably priced. I was there to get a gift and couldn't help buying a few things for myself. Also a nice selection of art supplies and classes. I will definitely be going back to support this locally-owned business. Lots of fun things to do within walking distance. Canby is a hidden gem.

From the owner: We carry many artists that you cannot find in others galleries. From unknown, emerging artists to…read moreaward-winning, national touring artists, we have it all in every medium.

For a modest cost we got a 10 minute video professionally done on the area and its residents trek from Europe to across the US. The lady staffing the museum was knowledgeable and friendly and had answers to many questions. The pictures and items were great representations of another era, and the assorted houses as part of the museum were fun to peek in and get a glimpse of an earlier life. Definitely well spent time on a Sunday afternoon.

We have never experienced such a decline in service and the simple fact that home delivery of regular mail is a thing of the past. Canby is a good place to live and offers many positive assets, however, our Post Office operations and daily delivery of regular mail is not one of them. If you want to hear the list of excuses/reasons for this, please bring your camp stool and a beverage as the stories range from bees in your mailbox to lack of employees, inclement weather, vehicle breakdowns, etc...

It is small enough that you can pay a visit even if you don't have a lot of time. There is a number you can dial to follow along with a audio tour. The info is posted on the wall on the west side of the memorial. The audio tour is part of Oregon's Mt. Hood Heritage Trail series. It is # 9 in the series. Text "hood" to 57682 & followed the link to the mobile site. While I was there, and there was a man lovingly doing some repair work there. He clearly has devotion and dedication to this memorial. He was also kind enough to take a picture of me and my dog with Telnet statue with the three soldiers. Thank you veterans for your service and for all of those that are dedicated to caring for this memorial.

It reduces the experience to facts and figures and while a nice remembrance of those that have fought for their country, it doesn't really make as much of an impression on younger visitors who are far removed from the conflict. I've been intrigued by this particular memorial for years because you just can't miss it as you drive along Highway 99 at the southern end of Canby. A "Huey" medivac helicopter ("Little Orphan Annie") is on it's approach landing just alongside the road. This is the dramatic focal point of the Vietnam Era Veteran's Memorial which is dedicated to the men and women who served in the military (not just Vietnam) between 1959 - 1975. Across the plaza, which is shaped like a "shou" representing long life and longetivity, there is a Buddhist bell with the inscription, "Believe in Peace" in Vietnamese. Approaching the helicopter is the bronze statue, "A Hero's Prayer" which depicts three larger than life-size figures of an American soldier carrying a wounded comrade towards the helicopter while holding the hand of a small child. The statue depicts PFC Gary W. Martini, USMC, Oregon Medal of Honor recipient who was killed in action in Vietnam. The second figure is U.S. Army Spec-4 Warren E. Newton, a Canby soldier listed as Missing in Action in Vietnam. The memorial started taking shape in 2006 and is still well maintained. I particularly like that it focusing on the humanity as well as the heroism of the war experience. If you look down at the plaza, you will see the red cross making the landing spot for the incoming helicopter and bricks covered with names of those who have made the memorial possible.

Family friendly | events year round…read more This was my go-to when my daughter was a baby to early toddlerhood. I came here because they had fun mommy and me sessions during the week. It gave me a place to feel like I can be comfortably outside of my home and connect with other parents/caretakers with their kids. There is a good selection of books in the kids section. They have a little play area with puppets/costume play, dollhouses, Lego and train sets, a kitchen, and an enclosed outdoor area to play. Overall, they have fun events year round for everyone of all ages. There is story time, hunts, book signings, and lectures you can attend. If you're a parent and it's your first time coming here, sign your kid up for the Dolly Parton book club. You get one free book a month up until they're 5 yrs old. It's specific to your kid's age.

Lets hear it for our public libraries. Over the past five or so years, I've been a frequent…read morevisitor to three libraries: Tualatin (currently under renovation), West Linn (close to home) and Wilsonville (close to work). This library was renovated just a few years ago and has a very open floor plan and lots of room. While it doesn't have the excitement of a downtown library, it is a great resource and I've found the staff very helpful. They've helped me track down items from other branches and usually I am able to get the book, CD or movie earlier than anticipated. Nice web site to manage your account on-line. I also get a kick out of the arial photos showing how Wilsonville has grown during the last century and a gorgeous wood carved landscape hanging in the main vaulted area of the library. This branch has a large childrens' area and many programs (story time in English and Spanish) and events. Good amount of computers in both the regular and childrens' areas as well. Wilsonville was also home to Walt Morey (childrens' author/Gentle Ben), so there are a few items in memory of him. I get most of my movies here and they are usually in good condition (for some reason it seemed like the movies I borrowed from the Tualatin branch had so many scratches the movies were unwatchable). You can also borrow a cultural pass from any Oregon library that gets you in free to some of our most interesting attractions (Classical Chinese Garden, Japanese Garden, Pittock Mansion and Portland Children's Museum to name a few). The things I wish were a little better were the weekend hours - they don't open until 2:00p on Sunday. I also think they have a pretty small selection of magazines.
