The Tigard public library is a great treasure for the community. Upstairs has adult books,…read morecomputers, but the highlight is the library of things. Excellent collection of board games and useful things to check out. Downstairs is children's and DVDs. It is a great larger library. Not the best programming, however, beautiful building, a little trail behind and very friendly staff.

Hadn't visited this library before until this month, and now I've been a couple of times in the…read morepast two weeks. Seems geared toward kids -- 75% of the stacks are picture books, early readers, etc. And a good portion of those are bilingual and non-English materials (mostly Spanish). There's also a play area (play kitchen), duplos, bins full of board books, and coloring pages. And, yes, there is a hand sanitizer. The adult section is tucked into one nook -- this is where you'll find fiction, NF, graphic novels, and YA. Like any library there are computers; wasn't too busy on a late Saturday morning. Bonus for easy parking (lot and street) and the park right across the way! We'll probably end up going to the big sibling Brookwood location more often, just for proximity and larger size of its collection, but this branch isn't half bad.

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.

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!

The Sylvania Library is a handsome and modern 2-story structure, with the right combination of technology, private meeting and study space, and public areas.
