Building libraries together

Thanks to the support of voters, Multnomah County Library is hard at work on a major transformation. New spaces will replace cramped buildings and help the library change and grow along with the community. The library will upgrade computers and technology in every location. 

Community engagement

Community input is shaping the design for library spaces. Thanks to feedback from members of the community, many libraries will have new features, such as:

• Art that represents diverse cultures.
• Large play and learning spaces for children. 
• Teen rooms with space for technology, homework and creative expression.
• New and expanded spaces for meeting and gathering.

Learn about how community engagement has guided all the projects.
