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.

Fond memories of taking my child to story time every week. She loved it. The parking is free and…read moreplentiful and there are some really good meeting rooms to reserve. 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.

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.

I rate this as my number one library that I've been a member of. Everything from the story times to summer reading program to adult book clubs...they have it all. I would recommend them 100%.

I take my whole fam bam to the library every week. We are never let down! The librarians are…read morehelpful, sweet and patient because my kids (all toddlers) are learning how to be book lovers and respectful in the library at the same time! We've gotten book suggestions from the librarians that have made a huge (wonderful) difference to my kids!!!! They really go out of their way, every day, for kids! I got helpful tips and tricks of the trade for using the library's phone app and honestly, I'm so proud to call this our library. They are fantastic! The negative reviews are 5+ years old and completely inaccurate!

A beautiful library. Friendly staff. Plenty of tables with outlets along the curved glass windows…read more Lots of activities going on today. Something out front involving balloons and raw eggs in cups being dropped from a ladder into a kiddy pool. Looked fun and educational. Inside you can rent musical instruments or bike kits as well as activity bundles. It was my first time at this library and it was a good visit. I'd go back.

This is a place where I can be safely ensconced in comfort away from anyone that gives me a hard time. I don't have to worry about anything outside of my comfort zone ruining my life including rejection emails from jobs I applied for because it's Oregon, you don't have to be rich to enjoy the state. With this library it's no exception. Everyone from all walks life in the area come here. It's a place where high school students meet to collaborate on project and where natives relax and calm down after a hard day at work. I had no issues with noisy kids who make a lot of ruckus. Of course even with the pandemic, I feel 0 stress from tough people. Note: Best not to drive if you live in the Tualatin area because the lot can fill up fast.

If you want to keep your library, I'd reccomend you get off your butt (and off your computer) and go check out a book. And even if you really can't tear yourself away from the computer screen....dont worry. There is an alternative. They are all online, and up to date with technology, so you can browse videoes, dvd, books and anything else offered there, and place them on hold so you can pick them up at your convienience. There are still many excellent childrens programs offered here so if you're a tired mom (or dad) and want a break, bring your kids here for some metal adventures!!! Another super cool thing they offer is their cultural passes. They vary over time, but have included places like the Portland Childrens Museum, The Rhododendren Gardens, Pittock Mansion, The Chinese Gardens......and others. You can also pack a picnic and take your kids to Wait Park right across the street to get their energy out after their mental exercieses at the Library. Check it Out!!!!

Now, I'm not presbyopic but even my young eyes could appreciate how much easier it was to read the titles on the spine of each book with that extra lighting.
