The attractiveness and ergonomics of the interior made a very favorable impression on me. There seem to be plenty of places for plugging in laptops, including some one-person rooms with doors. Very quiet, even the children's section. The thought-provoking titles on the new nonfiction shelves were of a caliber I would have expected in a Midwestern college town. The new building is connected by interior corridors to the old Carnegie building to the north. The architectural millwork in Carnegie libraries is normally pretty utilitarian and there was not much in evidence, other than a very fine balustrade of iron scrollwork topped with a polished brass tube. The entire facility is two stories, with an elevator and rest rooms on both floors. Parking is on nearby streets or in a rather small dedicated lot.

I have to say at first sit of the Woodburn Public Library you might think twice about going in…read more It's located in down town Woodburn, which has a bad reputation. There are always odd looking people walking around. So I ventured into the library to find a nice quiet and clean place. The first thing you notice is that the building is old and it shows it. From the looks it has a ton of books but once you start looking you find out that isn't true. The books are all dated and hard to find, most of the good book must be ordered. Woodburn in a Hispanic town so it's not a surprise that a lot of the books are in Spanish. The children section is missing many classic kids' books. Overall I was a little disappointed but it is a small city library. They do have free Wi-Fi and the employees are nice.

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!!!!

I take my son here 2-3x a month and it is a wonderful library!…read more There are several things for toddlers and young children. Upstairs is the child area. The printing is a great deal as well. 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.

The City Of McMinnville has done a wonderful job with their public library…read more The outside is beautiful, and well cared for. The inside is clean and inviting. 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

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.

The staff is friendly and helpful, and best of all, you can easily order most any book and pick it up without much wait at all (for comparison, in other library systems I have had to wait months for a requested book to arrive). My biggest complaint is that the outside drop off box is closed, so you have to return books during hours or at another location. Other than that, it's a very acceptable library.
