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!

So many others have mentioned the books, DVDs, library of things, Kanopy subscription, events and…read moreother elements that make it worthwhile to hold a library card here (the donuts aren't bad, either). But I can think of three reason off of the top of their catalog to keep going here: 1. Flamer by Mike Curato 2. Beyond Magenta: Transgender Teens Speak Out by Susan Kulkin 3. Heartstopper, by Alice Oseman You don't have to travel very far from Brookwood Parkway to find people who want these books taken out of kids' hands or incinerated just because they're unwilling to have conversation with their own children or unable to cope with what those conversations might mean. You don't have to pretend that it's only the burden of far-flung portions of the state to deal with those who'd prefer to ban books than discuss their context or meaning. In the library's backyard, there are folks with a friendly smile on their face and a cup of coffee to sell you who'd have each of these books removed expeditiously for specious reasons while outright slurring the people depicted within the pages. Granted, they call a lot of these same good folks neighbors, clergy, employees, family, and "friends" while taking their labor, payment, and tithes, but I guess letting people reach their own conclusions about their stories is the step they won't take. Well, many thanks to the Hillsboro Public Library for offering these books to anyone willing to read them. A library is often a first step along anyone's journey of self discovery (someone in the comments figured out they wanted to make horror movies, and started that walk here), and offering them the freedom to do so is a foundational portion of a public library's existence. Instead of closing that road, more of the library's neighbors should come along for the trip.

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.

It's clean, well kept, and organized. The books shelves looked a little light, but this place rocks as a community gathering and study spot. It also has a very nice children's section and lots of plug-in opportunities for keeping one's electronics up and running.

Honestly I was very thankful that I was able to use the computer lab to get most of my Oregon…read morerequirements for my CE completed. However the idea that a library is supposed to be a quiet place is no longer accurate. I mean the kids section of the Shute Park Library is one thing, I mean kids are supposed to be there and let's face it, kids learn better when they are active. Today's visit was more like a zoo. So today there was a visitor who was having a conversation out loud. This wasn't unusual...the unusual part was that another visitor started to get aggressive verbally with them. This was both disturbing and upsetting (kinda the same thing). I believe a library employee was familiar with this person and was able to de-escalate the situation rather quickly. Then there was a 20 minute situation between two visitors and their door dash/grub hub driver. I didn't even realize you could eat in the library, but i guess that has changed too. Despite these distractions I was able to complete my work, but I wish libraries were quieter. But I am glad they are cooling stations as well.
