Who doesn't love books…read more Situated near Downtown Gresham you will find this Library. It is located right behind the PetSmart Store off of Eastman Parkway. There is plenty of parking in a private lot and also street side parking. The library card is always free and no late fees for the kids. For kids and adults remember to bring your ID to get a new card. They offer computers that are free to use and there is also free Wi-fi in house. The selection of books here if vast and they also have a small collection of movies/ DVDs and Blu Ray to choose from. What I really love is that you can place books on hold and have it shipped over to any location and pick it up once it is ready. They now also have an App for iPhone and Android that is super handy. You can keep track of your account information and also put holds on books from the App. They also have a good variety of eBooks that you can check out from the App that you can read on your devices (Kindle, Nook, ect.). I like that they are now open 7 days a week. The library also has some good resources for filing taxes, citizenship and other types of helpful programs. You can view more about what is available here: https://multcolib.org/library-location/gresham Overall, this is a great place to visit for both adults and kids. There is also a public bathroom here for customers. f you can't find something you need you can also place a hold on a title and pick it up at this location. The staff is friendly and I love that there is free Wi-fi here.

Came here for the Ballot Box Drop Off Location…read more..... I found it...... eventually. It's on the opposite end of the parking lot. Stay to the right of the lot as there are no traffic direction signs of any sort. You'll see it. Big white box. Having never been here before, I had trouble for a minute. But I found it and dropped off a ballot for my area.

I've not had a chance to speak of the outdoor amenities until now. And what might be those outdoor parking lot amenities be? Well they are three new-ish Blink machines! OK, she's gone around the bend this time for sure. No, no stick with me! Blink machines are outdoor chargers for all-electric cars (and for hybrids). You have to apply for the card and it works like a credit card at the gas pump. It's a little more complex than that, but the Blink card and a guardian angel saved Ron and I a miserable afternoon after going up to Multnomah Falls and then running out of charge. Our dear guardian angel charged up a Blink machine for us and saved the day. This is a great place to have the Blink machines because this library is located near the freeway entrances. It's just plain a relief for electric car owners to have them there. I'm trying to do my part to get the word out. Thanks so much Multnomah County Library system for going above and beyond the call of duty!

The people here look very focused on their work. I saw many people on the computers and lots of kids around, which made it feel like such a lovely, welcoming space to be.

They also are always having events and activities for adults and children alike, I've even attended a few of them myself. I highly recommend this library and it's definitely one of my favorite libraries that are a part of the Clackamas library system.

It almost gets 5 stars because, good God, the previous and totally inadequate library for the…read moreClackamas / Sunnyside / Happy Valley area was shoved into 2 adjacent spaces in a strip mall adjacent to the Clackamas Town Center named Clackamas Corner. It was a sad excuse for a library, but it probably reflected the area's previous bucolic nature. It was reported that, about 25 years ago, the Sunnyside corridor was mostly berry farms. The Happy Valley Library is in a building that is newer and far removed from the mall and the major junction of Sunnyside Rd. and I-205. In a way, this is good and bad. It's good because the location is bigger and newer, but a lot of the catchment area for this library, such as the patron base who lives closer to SE 82nd Avenue, doesn't have the ability to get around, and needs a library's services can't get here as easily. I don't remember what used to be in this newer, larger building. It wasn't designed as a library from scratch, though. The Happy Valley Library is comparable to the West Linn Library of the Clackamas County System in its size and level of services. However, the personalities are very different. This one is very spacious and open, while the West Linn Library is cozier and has more nooks and crannies. The service here is about on par with that of West Linn's, where it is good but a little cool. Is there a connection between gray skies and books that makes library employees more somber? I once walked into a library in Las Vegas only to be greeted with a "sunny disposition." I'll stay on topic. Also, this library is located in an area that appears to be "planned," with a shopping center in front, and a traffic circle with small businesses and park-like features around it. Simply stated, this is a very good neighborhood library.

Happy Valley Library - This magazine and teen area is on the main floor, to the right.  These chairs remind me of my last car's interior.

We stopped by here to visit. This is a very nice and organized library. Five floors. Each floors…read morededicated to an area. There is an eating area on the main floor where you can snack while you read. The children's floor has lots of books and a big play area for kids. Lots of neat stuff on the every floors. Very clean and organized. I especially enjoyed the fifth and top floor. There is a terrace where you can sit and there is a garden area where you can look at the plants that are growing. Unfortunately because it was off season and in early September, so nothing was growing at the time. They even have a "Seed Library" where people donate their garden seeds to library. Readers can come up and see what was donated and take a packet of seeds to plant at home. Great idea to spread the wealth of seed planting. This library is within walking distance to restaurants and Regal Movie theatre. Great location for readers to stop by and borrow a book and just enjoy the reading materials they have chosen. I found this library to have many good amenities.

And an entire play area. Not slides and swings, but learning and creativity play area. They can go inside sculptures and spin the wheels to make things glow. So cool! I didn't get to check out too much of the actual library set up, but did notice you can check out Activity Bags, which are bags that have a theme and it looked like books, games, activities, surrounding certain themes for kids. Def will be coming back
