I have been worried that libraries are starting to become a thing of the past for most folks and I…read morehave been determined to explore my local library and see what they have to offer. I was absolutely blown away by Oregon City Library. There's a great selection of books including items you can rent out, like a fondue pot or metal detector. There is a seed library as well so you can create a garden! They have adult events as well. I am currently doing the adult 2026 reading challenge and am finding so much joy in reading. This library has many events happening on a consistent basis. The swings and splash pad outside is a nice addition. The staff here are incredibly kind and knowledgeable.

It is a great building with lots of space and the employees are friendly. They also have events for adults and kids that you can find on the website. Outside the park area is very nice. I'm glad to have such a nice library in the community.

Libraries are so much more than books. The Tualatin library has plenty of books, but it also has an…read moreincredible board game selection, it is a national park site for the ice age trail and has the best makerspace I have ever encountered. 3d printers, laser machine, glass cutter, sewing machines, soap making, candle making, robots, leather work.. And more. This is our place to go to be creative. There is a project of the month if you need ideas but go to an open lab and create!

A beautiful library. Friendly staff. Plenty of tables with outlets along the curved glass windows…read more Lots of activities going on today. Something out front involving balloons and raw eggs in cups being dropped from a ladder into a kiddy pool. Looked fun and educational. Inside you can rent musical instruments or bike kits as well as activity bundles. It was my first time at this library and it was a good visit. I'd go back.

We love going to the West Linn Library. It is one of my daughter's favorite places and we try to go…read moreat least once a week. The staff at the West Linn library are top notch- incredibly personable, super friendly, always willing to help and you can just tell they love their jobs. This library always has a welcoming and happy vibe. You can see it is well cared for and this library is always clean. We tend to park in the back since it is closer to their children's area which is downstairs. The adult lucky day (newest books that you can't put on hold and have a 14 day loan timeframe) are upstairs where you also will find the holds. The staff are so helpful with getting holds for you and even go the extra length to find books that are not even in the Clackamas county bandwidth. We have gotten books as far from as Montana when certain books are harder to find. The West Linn library has so many thoughtful touches that makes this place so special. They do scavenger hunts every other month, the tales to tail program, reading summer program (where each child gets to pick out a book to take home that is theirs, complimentary Blazers ticket, etc once they completed the program), curated book lists by grade/reading level, they offer tons of youth activities- in house (especially on days that primary schools have the day off) and take home activities too. They have a community puzzle, normally a survey or a this/that to engage conversation. Their weekly programs like story hour were a staple for our kids when they were younger. I highly recommend checking out this special library and look forward to taking my kids there.

There are large windows facing a green space, so lots of natural light as well. As a bonus: if you have a Clackamas County library card, you can take seeds from their community seed bank. The seeds were high quality, well-organized, and many of them were organic.

This is a fantastic library. One of the first things I noticed was that the bookshelves were lit…read morefrom the top panels of each shelving unit. Now, I'm not presbyopic but even my young eyes could appreciate how much easier it was to read the titles on the spine of each book with that extra lighting. Staff seemed friendly and the library was clean and quiet, just as a library should be. The library is a bit smaller, but you can always get books delivered to the Sherwood Library for pick-up

I rate this as my number one library that I've been a member of. Everything from the story times to summer reading program to adult book clubs...they have it all. I would recommend them 100%.

I take my whole fam bam to the library every week. We are never let down! The librarians are…read morehelpful, sweet and patient because my kids (all toddlers) are learning how to be book lovers and respectful in the library at the same time! We've gotten book suggestions from the librarians that have made a huge (wonderful) difference to my kids!!!! They really go out of their way, every day, for kids! I got helpful tips and tricks of the trade for using the library's phone app and honestly, I'm so proud to call this our library. They are fantastic! The negative reviews are 5+ years old and completely inaccurate!

I didn't account for the mass of people however...it just took me a couple extra minutes to find a parking spot then I went in. The experience this time was considerably better. There was more noise than usual, but it was for a good reason. There was assisting going on...with many translators available that was helping people. There wasn't any DoorDash issues and the kids there were pretty well behaved. I was able to complete my task very quickly and efficiently and that was definitely a good thing.

I am not happy about what is happening at this library when it comes to discrimination towards…read morepeople of color. I think the staff should call an emergency meeting and seriously review their treatment of their visitors. To have children running around screaming and have no one say anything to them. But!! your staff can go up to a woman of color and tell her to use the gross library headphones because hers are being too loud. Please that's ridiculous. Do better!! you guys are being funded by the communities tax dollars and we expect better behavior from your staff.
