I love Hillsboro Public Library! I'm an avid reader and have checked out many books over the years…read moreI've been a member! There's a section of Best Sellers that current popular books are available for check out. I've checked out some epic reads without having to wait. I like browsing the shelves and seeing staff picks placed on placards next to the book on the shelf. I've read many books that I wouldn't have read otherwise from the recommendations. I've recently started checking audio books and books on Kindle through the Libby app. I love it! I love that they do different events. I've taken my grandkids to family friendly events. Last week I had to check out the current artwork being displayed. I was mesmerized by the Warrior Women Portraits by Danyel Rogers. I received an email that there was an artist reception being put on for her. Many of the subjects of her photographs were in the audience. The reception was nicely done. I hope to make many future events!

After 6 years of living in Hillsboro, I'm finally a Washington County library card holder and I…read moremust say, I wish I had gotten one sooner! There are so many perks that come along with being a library card holder, including access to all Washington country libraries, Libby which provides access to digital & audio books, and annual tickets to local attractions like museums and gardens. On this particular occasion my husband and I decided to walk around the pond/park for about 30 minutes before entering the library. Upon entry we were immediately greeted by a friendly volunteer and we perused the ground floor, looking at the bookshelves before heading upstairs to find a place where we could collaborate on our annual goals. Before finding a spot we encountered a young man who helped us get set up with our library cards. Then we found a place to sit and we got to work. I was pleasantly surprised to see so many people utilizing all the library amenities - computers, printers, study rooms and notary service.

The people are really nice, which is sort of the problem. Last year, I needed to study for a…read morecollege course over a period of months and there was simply nowhere that I could find quiet in that library. One man in particular who works there spoke in full voice and was just having a grand old time, all the time, and no amount of earplugs or distancing myself from the checkout counter was ever enough. I'm positive that the people he interacted with appreciated his energy and enthusiasm and liked being made to feel welcome but I eventually gave up and made the drive to Newport every time I needed to be able to really concentrate. Otherwise, it's a bright and cheerful place and I'd happily recommend it. To anyone who is NOT looking for a traditional library atmosphere.

There is a reception area when you come in, and restrooms not far from it. There are two levels. Each one is very user friendly. There are tables and chairs to sit, and stay a while. There are lots of books and games available. Computers are also available to use.

This place is magical - and the staff are angels! I am so sad they are being defunded.read more

I try to get library…read morecards from as many places as possible, and this was one of the best experiences I've had while getting a library card! I had a lovely time chatting with the librarians, Mr. & Mrs. Sugano were very warm & friendly, not to mention well-traveled! Special thanks to them for being a highlight of our Cannon Beach trip, I only wish I had stopped in for longer or returned to their Book Sale! Can't wait to support Cannon Beach's library with my new library card in the future, and I hope to visit again soon.

I come here to get out of the house away from any distractions so that I can get writing done. Pretty bad that I have to wear earplugs and headphones at a LIBRARY.

I love how it's separated into its own area and has so much more than books. A puppet theater area, large stuffed animals, puzzles, toys, computers, etc. Large selection of Spanish books.

The staff are super kind and helpful. You can also reserve books using the online platform and then just get them off the reserved shelf and check them out. This feature is so helpful if you want an in/out experience. The library is what makes this City right. They are doing an excellent job!! The books are super awesome - you can find so many great ones, and they pull from other Oregon libraries so you really aren't limited to the books at this location. A fat thumbs up to this library and everything it has to offer. Also - don't forget the cultural pass you can reserve. It was a great way to take your children to local attractions without paying an entry fee. What a great educational opportunity!!!!

My favorite thing about this library though is the Friends of the library store to the right when you first walk in. You can donate books there and they sell them for very cheap as well. I just got two books on my wish list for $3 each and they appeared to be brand new! My mom said they used to have a cafe and she misses that part- but I wasn't here during that time.
