A treasure! The Central Library is not just a place for books & media, but it's also a community center and an excellent "third space" where someone can just hang out and read, research, and write. Portland is blessed with a great library system, and this is perhaps the jewel in the center of the crown. my library! read more

Just when I thought this library could not be more lovely, they renovate to add more space for readers. I do not have children but wandered in to get pictures of the beautiful reading tree. They have truly great seating areas for kids and all the staff are so friendly and want to help! I came in to go to an exhibit at the Collins Gallery which was so wonderful. Keep an eye out as they have all sorts of great activities, lectures and shows here. read more

Did you know that Central Library is the oldest library west of the Mississippi and on the National Register of Historical Places? If you didn't, now you do. Built in 1913, the Multnomah County Central library in the heart of downtown Portland is a formidable Georgian styled architectural landmark. The Georgian style was common between the 1700-1800's. There are stone benches with decorative flourishes situated around the building. What's more, there's a ribbon around the entire roof of the building with the names of notable authors carved into it as a grand gesture of whom you will expect to encounter inside. Swoon. It's decadent. I walk around the block and gawk like a tourist at every visit. Once you're inside your eyes will be swept up and away by the split, black marble staircases with vines of white throughout. They are palatial and make an opulent statement. Truly exceptional. I was there the other day to use a computer and printer which are available to library patrons for free. I'm not sure how many computers are available but there were so many that I didn't have to wait. It looked to me like more than 50 at least. I should have asked. They have so many books that there are 17 miles of book shelves. Just think about that. They do inter-library loans if they don't have what you need. This came in handy during my university days. Yes they loan to and from universities. The 2020 bond measure that allowed for the renovation included much needed improvements to the outdated restroom situation. It is now much improved. Everything about this Grande Dame of a bibliothèque is vastly improved. You don't have to go for a book. Go for one of the museum worthy exhibits. The one that caught my eye was one of the 80's. An exhibit of a black biker jacket with silver spikes, black combat boots, black nail polish and some other punk rock paraphernalia with a placard explaining punk rock and the 80's. I got a good laugh out of that. I was the 80's goth kid but had plenty of punk rock friends. Books, 80's history, and beautiful architecture. My loves. Thank you Central Library. 2024 - Review # 19 read more

Absolutely beautiful library, inside and out. And, it is essentially a Drop-In center for homeless people. It smells bad everywhere with carpet and it is often an unsafe place to stay standing still for too long. My heart goes out to the Staff there. read more

I love the Central Library. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Holds promptly found and made available. Great place to visit as often as you'd like. Arrange to see the special collection. read more

My review is based only on a walk through, and not as a patron whose checked out materials or frequents. 1. This building is beautiful!!! The architecture and fine craftsmenship is apparent in so many details: the name etched into the building itself, the authors' names on the benches out front, the design details in the tree in the Youth Dept. and in the marble stairs!! 2. Seems like they have loads of great marriage for checkout! 3. Seems like they provide a safe and temperature controlled space for the community. The reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because as my friend and I spent nearly an hour there and walked through all the public spaces, not a single staff member acknowledged us, or asked if we need assistance. As I am a librarian, i feel justified in saying that's not how it should be done. It's our jobs to be welcoming, so I was disappointed that I didn't have that experience here. We still loved seeing the beautiful building, and I'd definitely recommend seeing it. read more

If you're a person of any education whatsoever, you will *not* be welcome at this library. It's irrelevant if you're a donor, patron, politician, or pauper. That's their idea of equality here. The renovation was understandably difficult; however, there are people that wonder where the money went. It's not that flashy results or major changes were required. We know durability was a priority. It's that I get hammered by qualified high-level contractors for even having been to the building. Then on top of that, the staff is unfriendly. read more

They took away all the books so that they can see the crackheads behind the shorter shelves, which leaves only the most popular books for the patron to find. Note how the most popular books are rarely the most in-depth or informative. There's also a very unfortunate problem of the crackheads and bums playing music out loud and talking to themselves. You can't even think for a second without Shina Twain blasting on Youtube while someone sounding like a crack robot screeching that the space aliens owes the cigarettes, then narrating sound effects of everything. "Beep bop, he's wearing a red coat, he he! Ha, red coat, bop!" The staff kinda try, but that usually ends 'well' with said crackhead screaming that everyone is rude for not letting them do what they want. I understand and support the library as a public space where the public is welcome to utilize the resources; these resources being exceptionably vital to someone with no home to wire internet to. However, there comes a time when your beloved family member in desperate need isn't allowed in your home anymore. You can't feed them because they don't understand that food goes in mouth anymore. This library is the equivalent of handing your baby food which it immediately throws on the walls, both figuratively and literally. read more

Best staff ever! All the locations in Portland! Love the free buttons every Month for every holiday! Downtown location has a "rare book room" read a Marilyn Monroe pictures included book thete. Plus a jfk book rare Cool! Better then the Powell's rare book room. No fines. Free printing, faxing, computers. You can even request books & films for them to order. Mine have all been approved. Great study rooms too ic u want 100% silence. Highly encourage going there!! read more

This is a great library with a beautiful building and really great help. My son and I take almost weekly trips here and librarians are great. The librarian is our favorite and even had stickers and kindness my son. read more

This place is absolutely beautiful and more importantly an amazing place to study and complete online trainings, especially if you don't have access to a printer at home. As much as I dislike living downtown, I love being so close to this library! The staff is kind but generally won't approach you unless you approach them first, which is totally fine in my book. Also, the computer headphones I've used here have unusually crisp and immersive sound quality, so much so that I might actually try to find a pair of my own... read more

One word: Libby! Ok, a few more words: The last time I I used an Audible credit was because I'm reading a nine-book series that recently got a lot of publicity and the wait list for this had the sixth book coming up for me weeks before the fifth, so I gave in and used a credit for the first time in months. But since I was introduced to Libby for audio and digital downloads, I have almost forgotten about Audible, which was my obsession for years before that. One of the best features is that it returns your books FOR you, just notifies you for a few days before a book is due, then sneaks in and takes it back unless you renew it. The only downside is that you sometimes have to get other books (Aw,!hardship!) while you wait a for new and popular titles you've put on hold, so that's a reason I keep Audible as my backup, but for everything else, Libby is my NBF! read more

Stately library. Very organized and beautiful, too. One of the clerks was so helpful pointing out the direction for my specific call number - and another was pleasant to put a book on hold for me. It wasn't a huge favor, but both offered great, humble service. One visit - I wasn't planning to, but I was able to drop my ballot off, how handy. Vast, clean library with lots of stairs. Enjoy it. read more

Multnomah County Library - Handy ballot box at the main desk - Libraries Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I've only interacted with the Research and Periodical staff and they are very pleasant, patient, and knowledgeable. Parking is a pain! I'm perplexed how people with cars regularly check out books. That said, maybe most of the clientele doesn't drive. It's nice to see many elderly using the computers and reading the daily Oregonian. There's definitely a riff-raff factor, better wait if it's just you and them wanting to use the restrooms. This place is a treasure, they could use more security to ensure the safety of materials and patrons. read more

1913 architectural gem. Cannot tell you how many times I have been....Beverly clearly children's library....there used to be a quaint, basic cafe downstairs. Alas, gone..... And now, soon to stay downtown, gonna avail myself of the streetcar stop here that takes me to Lloyd!!! (Upscale Goodwill across street fun quicky shopping too). Woohooo to PDX for addition of the CL streetcar line. Libraries make me happy...and this coming from a Mult. Co. erstwhile library volunteer who clocked in a lottttta hours! read more

This library is beautiful. The details carved into the main staircase are incredible. I could spend an hour looking at the stairs alone. The kid area is fantastic and very large. It's actually larger than most of the branches around town. If you have any interest in libraries, this is a must see. read more

A beautiful, historic building that boasts the best selection of books out of all the Multnomah County Libraries and gorgeous architecture. There's a lot of tables and computers available for studying. If you're a PSU student like me, going here for books can save you a lot of money during the school year. Most likely you'd have to go to the desk for help, as it's very difficult to find books here; books are organized according to a different system than at other Multnomah County Libraries. As you walk in, there's a little store to your left that you must check out with kitschy little knick knacks, stationary, and always books on sale. Also check out the Children's Library! Absolutely gorgeous and a great place to bring your child. On a side note, be careful as there are a lot of homeless people in the area. read more

I love this place! Huge book selection and architecture so beautiful. They do a library share and sent the book I was looking for to my local library and I just picked it up, read it and returned it in one day. read more

What a gorgeous library! I was initially impressed by the architecture, even more so by the friendly staff and finally blown away by the current selection of books. They had new books that were released just a week ago. They also provide a lot of community resources. A library social worker?!! That is just a fantastic idea. read more

Took one of my closest friends here when she was in town. I thought it was so intricate and beautifully designed. Everyone is welcome here. And EVERYONE takes advantage of that. Some may possibly live here during open hours. But as long as everyone is respectful and quiet -- that's all that matters. After all, it's a public library that's FREE. It reminded me of any beautiful Washington DC library or the New York Public Library. Obviously not as magnificent but impressive nonetheless. They have a children's wing. Free computer usage. Many floors. Many public records and resources. Lots of help desks. 10/10. read more

While some cities, like for instance Seattle, have cool and slick modern buildings for their central library. Portland wows with this historic building. It is, like YELP's 5-star description, as good as it gets. I have always loved coming here, but somehow they made it even better when they remolded (check out the etched granite on the stairs! or the tree in the kids section. The library is a great space to spend time, Free computers are all around you can either search the collections or place holds on the computers. It also hosts a store of the Friends of the Library. Staff is easy to find either walking around and staffing desks if you need assistance. Check out is easy on their Computerized self checkout counters. If you need help, there are always staff there to assist. My best tip: use the computers here or at home to reserve books, movies and music for pickup. You get a notice when it is ready then come in to pick it up. The system is super easy and lets you get inline for super popular items also they will transfer stuff from other branches and file them alphabetically. My second best tip: use the restroom before you come, the ones here can be an...experience. On June 11, 1979 the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places. read more

The building itself is just nice to explore, I really love the older buildings in Portland. A lot of the time I reserve books and pick them up because the genre I like is popular. That being said I do wish the Young Adult section was a bit more expansive, seems small for the main library. Some people complain of the homeless coming in, but I've never been bothered by them or been harassed so I don't mind it. read more

Beautiful! An out of town friend and I wandered into the library for a gander and spent awhile admiring the space. A kindly librarian told us that the library was remodeled in the 90's and it has held up well. She also told me she liked my shirt, so she has good taste. Things to see if you go: The marble staircase with words and plants engraved in it. It is breathtaking. The tree in the children's library. Look at the ends of the bookcases to your left in the children's library. Artists have made amusing and witty miniature scenes. The women's bathroom (can't speak for the men's) has beautiful 3 dimensional floral tile. Keep looking up, the lighting fixtures and glass work is amazing. Those are just a few things that we found interesting and beautiful. We didn't like the carpet. The librarian said it was custom made, and I know, City of Roses, but it looked like granny carpet. The library has a delightful gift shop, offers free internet access, and the environment is pleasant and peaceful. If I lived in Multnomah County I can see coming to this library often. It's a little slice of bibliophile heaven. read more

The Multnomah County Library system was started in 1864 and consists of 19 locations. It is the largest library system in Oregon and ranks first among libraries serving fewer than one million residents. In this respect, it is the busiest in the nation. The Central Library in downtown Portland serves as the main branch of the System. The Building was designed by architect A. E. Doyle, was opened in 1913, and is listed National Register of Historic Places. It contains ~17 miles of bookshelf space and lots of computers over its 125,000 square feet. I stopped by recently as part of an architectural walk through Downtown Portland, that also took me to City Hall, the Pioneer Courthouse, the Gerding Theatre and a few grand historical churches. The first cool thing that I admired was the 16-step black granite set of stairs. Contained within are garden-themed area and words that were sandblasted into the stairs' treads and risers, all part of the Library's theme of "A Garden of Knowledge". Past that there are 16 more black granite steps that are incised wit the Greek key motif. The garden motif is also weaved into other aspects of the Building. Examples include a garland in the foyer ceiling and carpet patterns of roses and leaves. There's also a bronze tree in the Children's Library, of which the bark combines elements of Oregon's natural history with subjects found in the Dewey Decimal system. And don't miss the large and traditional vase of fresh flowers at the top of the first landing. A self-guided tour brochure is available that more fully describes the marvelous indoor and exterior features here. There is also a nice "Friends of the Library" store up front. There are many "Pathways to Wisdom" in Portland, and this Library is a great place to continue that journey. read more

So, I'm sitting here, very much enjoying the quiet area. Then, a staff member walks up and asks the guy next to me to remove his bottle of wine, in a gift bad, from the library. You know, like he was going to a birthday party later and brought a bottle of wine with him in a gift bag. So here's this citizen, sitting quietly and enjoying the services that his tax dollars pay for and he can't have a bottle of wine *in a bag* with him. What has this country come to? What has this county come to? How did they even notice it? Also, the staff member totally disrupted the quiet area to save all of us from the closed bottle of wine safely in a gift bag. read more

I will add another 5 star review to this jewel of governmental competence. It's a labyrinth that rivals Powells - full of marble steps and volumes upon volumes that beg for more time than you are willing to give. Whether you go with a list or just to browse, it's like Costco: you always come out with more than you bargained for. But at the library, there is no spenders-regret! Just enjoy and return. Can we stop to recognize the brilliance in this? Recently playing piano for a friend's wedding, I got lost in the vast collection of sheet music - while my friend indulged his guilty pleasure of all things science and fiction: settling on something that involved more dragons and spaceships than I could digest. Granted, the librarian was a bit confused by the final selection of Debussy sheet music, a cook book, an economic strategy text by Porter, and the glossy covered 'Wizard of Earthsea'. But what can he expect from a selection so vast? All of your guilty pleasures in one place for FREE! (well, most of your guilty pleasures...) read more

I love all libraries. There is something magical about being surrounded by so many books and people who love books. The Central Library is one of the most enchanting. Built in 1913, this beautiful library was refurbished a few years ago. If nothing else, you really should check out the obsidian staircase, with carvings and hidden pictures throughout. They have a great children's library with a reading room for stories. The third floor (arts and culture section) has rotating exhibits about books and other interesting subjects. They also have live music here (usually classical). read more

How can you not love the Central Library? It's an amazing place before you even walk in... crossing Yamhill, the stately brick building towers over you, with a modest sophistication visible from the street. Walk up the graceful stairs to the huge wood doors leading you in... it's like a library in a movie or something. Once inside, everything is organized and lined up and ready to go. It's easy to get lost, the place is huge and the racks of books stretch for three floors. Everywhere you turn, there is someone quietly working at a table or in an alcove... it's just like you'd imagine. For me, I love the library because I can reserve my book online, run inside and pick it up from the waiting rack, and get going all in about five minutes. Perfect for hitting the place up after I get home from work. Another example of what we can accomplish when we work together for the good of all. read more

gorgeous space the people of this city are lucky to call their own free library. pinks and greens and a tree in the children's room

Beautiful multi-story library with separate sections for quiet and for talking. That's probably my favorite part about this library. Lots of computers and printers on every level. Get there early because it's a rush at opening hours! read more

This place is awesome. Quite a popular hangout for others who may not have elsewhere to go, but it's obvious that library workers are well-trained in keeping the peace and dealing with disturbances/outbursts. I also read in the paper there's even a outreach worker (crisis coordinator?) on staff who helps people with their social dilemmas. I have never felt uncomfortable and nobody (unlike in that Portlandia episode) inside has ever approached me for money. You can reserve books online thru your Multnomah Library Account, but I think it's a lot of fun to peruse the shelves. Huge fiction and mystery sections on the first floor. And I just discovered today a large selection of travel guides (in the 900s, on the 3rd floor). Plenty of big reading tables in rooms with large windows. Free wifi! SO convenient by streetcar or MAX. Free books! 3 weeks at a time. read more

Having fun isn't hard with a library card. I love this library and all the books that are available it's amazing how much you can find and if you can't find it I've requested several items for purchase that have then came to the library which is really cool. The librarians are also always very nice and helpful when like me you're wandering around the million or so bookshelves completely clueless about the sections. I also love how easy the checkout machine is and the cute little gift shop. Also close to the bus station stop (it's right across the way) which works out great for me. The only reason why I give 4 stars is they don't have any video games available like my last library did which is the one thing I miss but there's still a lot to explore otherwise. read more

Buy the various bookmarks that are the words on some of the steps in the Friends of the Library Gifts area and Store. Also, There were art pieces in the various displays on the top (that's the third floor if you are in the elevator) floor. Be aware that during all hours of the afternoon there are sometimes ne'er-do-wells that sell drugs right in front of the Central Library steps. Once you exit go to the right to the Galleria MAX stop... do not get off the MAX (that's the train) until you are in Gresham, Oregon. Why not? Because you'll live longer that way.... unless you are in one of Portland's many gangs. It seemed that between 2005 and 2012 there was usually a younger very overweight white man waiting on the steps area to the right of the entrance... as you are facing the front doors at the bottom of the steps. There is a drive up book return. It's on the other side of the Central Library. Did you know... there is a section called the Children's Library inside the Central Library. It's for those children who want a safer space to read and their guardians, parents, aunts, and grandmothers. When I was at Central Library last... in 2016... I noticed that one of the displays had no books on it. I asked the Librarian on the second floor about that display... I was told that the person who was setting up the display was out sick. There have been meetings held at this Central Library pre Pandemic. I attended a meeting there once. There is a parking structure a few feet away from the front door of this Central Library. There are usually plenty of parking spots inside before 2:35 PM. And you can get your fancy watch fixed on the next block. There is a strange little bar... which is more like a Social Hour for locals -I've never met anybody who likes to go to that particular bar who is friendly, though. Across the street from Central Library is the Virginia Cafe in case you are in need of French Fries. read more

PROS -friendly and helpful staff -air-conditioned facilities -different areas that cater to different interests -great selection of audiobooks -quick library card application process -unique exterior and interior architecture CONS -messy and sometimes pungent odors near/in bathrooms -crowded tables on second floors This library is located near Director Park. I visited here for the first time with my fiancee and her Dad to borrow some audiobooks and browse around the Downtown/Central branch within the Multnomah County Library system. When we walked in, through the doors, sat patiently behind his desk to our right and asked if we needed help. Upon informing him that we were first-time visitors and were interested in borrowing books, he urged us to fill out a library card application. After completing our applications he politely directed us to the next room, towards the library book checkout personnel, for further processing. The two ladies who assisted us were very polite and helpful, proceeding to not only inform us of basic library policies but also the library website we could utilize to search and renew books. They definitely possessed a wealth of information and went above and beyond in making us feel very welcome at the library. When you enter through the first floor, on your left is the "Popular Books" section while to your right is the "Children's Area" in honor of renowned children's writer Beverly Cleary. As a matter of fact, Beverly Clearly was raised in Portland during her younger years. As you go up the stairs to the second floor you come across Science and Reference sections. Adjacent to this is a digital section that features collections of DVDs and audiobooks. After browsing through some books, I attempted to find a seat, but was discouraged by the crowded tables. Looking over at the deserted DVD section, I felt that two more tables could have been situated there to accommodate the overflow of library visitors. Before leaving the library, I walked over to the bathroom and could immediately smell the pungent odors emanating from the urinal and stall. I think some of the homeless people use this facility for their sanitation purposes and sometimes leave a mess of dirt and toilet paper. Aside from this shortcoming, I wholly recommend visiting this library for it's renowned Beverly Clearly children's section, friendly staff, and unique architecture. read more

Great library, I can easily find the books I want and they seem to be the first in getting the latest copies from my favorite authors. The people that work there are very friendly and generally are interested in books, so don't be afraid to ask for recommendations. Everything was neat and orderly. I've grown up literally in the library, so this does remind me of home. read more

''I haven't been here for years'' But I used to spend many a afternoon in this spacious place researching sometimes but always enjoying myself! But not as much now since the internet come into my life?, Even brought my kids here too on weekends? Built in 1913 as I was once told by one of the librarians? This magnificent Building is what libraries once were and still should be now? I frequent now another library in Vancouver which is nice but not as magnificent as this is with all the marble façade? ''Thanks for the memories and 5 stars*****!'' read more

The size of this Library was mind blowing! I grew up in a small town so our library was a desk and 8 shelves.. lol Sometimes we'd get lucky and the mobile library from the big city would come through with a bigger selection. So when I entered the building I was in awe, its fancy! Reminded me of an old Museum, the Oregon history section on the top floor is a must visit to see letters and books as old as Oregon itself was delightful. From one Book worm to another it's worth the visit:) read more

Call me spoiled, call me a snob, but the Multnomah County Library didn't do it for me. I really, really wanted to like the library. Structurally I did. The staircase is undeniably beautiful. The portraits of past library chairmen were really cool. But for me, a library is only as great as it's collection. I'm not saying this place didn't have its fair share of books -- new and old. That of course is pinnacle, but also expected. My love of libraries goes beyond the book selection. I haven't had a Blockbuster card for years because wherever I live the DVD selection at the local library does it for me. Los Angeles, CA or Whistler BC, it could take years for me to watch all the DVDs they had. Here, not so much. Not at all, really. The almost empty DVD cases boasted nothing I wanted to watch or wanted to watch again. Even the documentary section (which they store away from the 'entertainment' DVD section) had almost nothing to pique my interest. I got the Rufus Wainwright documentary, which I'm looking forward to watching, but...ya know. I don't think Rufus blew up a bridge or lead a country when he was a baby (maybe he did?). Oh, and don't bother with their CD selection either. It's OK, but nothing like Whistler's, which serves about 5% of the population of Portland but has an infinitely more desirable collection of contemporary music. I'm sure I will come to appreciate this library. Having just moved here I weeded out my personal collection of 'read' and 'read-not' and so have a good five months of reading on my hands before I have to check out a new book. Hopefully by that time a dear Yelper will enlighten me about a better branch?! read more

Remember talkboys? I found mine... well, I found my talkgirl (a pink spin-off). I can't remember what possessed me to want such a device... the extendable microphone was cool, as well as the toggle switch to slow and speed up the recording with ha-ha-hilarious results. But that was pretty much all it did right? Other than that it was just a glorified clunky walkman that got taken away if spotted at recess. But I'll be damned if I didn't think it was neatest thing around for a while. The great thing about gadgets is that they have their initial awesome period, then you loose them for 15 years, and then when you find them again they're still pretty cool. That's the vibe I get at the central library. It's a bizarre literary world of new hip ideas and old standbys that we unavoidably return to. We each have a cycle of discovery and remembrance and how these link with others is truly fascinating. We're all at our own moments of literary appreciation, and yet our relationships and intrigue are similar whether diving into Jacques Lacan for the first time or flipping through Beatrix Potter for the thousandth. There's a driver in each of us that makes us think "wow... this is really something" even if you're not sure why. I've found everything here, from references in any language I can think of to geological maps of undersea volcanoes that once erupted where Portland sits now. Current periodicals, legal documents, arts, humanities, sciences, travel also find home here.... all of which are kept up by a staff of friendly Portland book aficionados. I love checking out the new arrivals, or digging through the architecture and art stacks once again. Flipping through a dog eared copy of a familiar title and going "ohhhh yeah! I remember now!!!" is always fun. Obviously you won't find anything that can make your voice sound like the chipmunks or record your mom on the phone discussing gifts around Christmastime (how'd she always know I was there anyway?) but the Central Library fosters the rarest of things: ideas (old and new), and the people who stand behind them. Time to pull out the mic and hit record. read more

Something about this place smells...oh it's the homeless shelter we call the library. That's really what it is. The library has everything, normal people, abnormal people, cat lady, guy with blue beard, guy with BO clothes... This place has a ton of books and magazines. It's really a nice place. There's a childrens section and young adult sections and so much more! Sports Illustrated for kids YES! I would recommend if you have the stamina to walk up the stairs rather than going through the elevator as you just might not know whats been in there. The library has computers. When I was a kid looking up books you had to use this thing called a "card catalog" WTF? The computers you can rent out for a few hours. They don't charge but you are given about 2 hours to do your research. If you lucky you might sit by that homeless guy who is looking at porn. Nothing further distracts others around you than a guy talking to himself about knockers on a lady or the junk the guy has in his pants. Sure the screens have this "private" screen that others can't see from the side, but if your behind the person, yeah, you'll see what others see, like homeless guy looking at beastality. The staff are nice, makes you wonder how they feel about the library slowing changing to a homeless shelter. But they will help you out with your needs and what nots. The library is a wealth of knowledge and opens doors to imaginationland! YAY! read more
