Multnomah County Library - Hillsdale

I love reading reviews of this place by people who hate kids, because this place sustained my family spiritually through some tough times. I will forever be grateful to the knowledgeable and gentle staff, who calmly and compassionately dismissed my nervous apologies while they joyfully (and loudly) immersed themselves in their excitement over reading. I will never forget the librarians who kindly read to my kids while I stressed over a resume during a job search. This place is a refuge for the community. I cannot express my appreciation for the team here, or the fantastic library system. The hold system can get you any book you need. I am also grateful for the ongoing investment in virtual materials, which has put a wealth of resources within reach. Thank you, Hillsdale. You have made the neighborhood a better place and improved the lives of my family members.

Small but very beautiful library. Great little kids area. I just stopped by to use the computers for job applications and they were extremely helpful in getting me set up. And ended up getting a job too.

Nice, medium sized library. Good for a quiet place to work or of course find a book to read!

Everything you need from a public library space is here -- large and small meeting rooms, children's book and media area, periodicals, DVDs and CDs, online computer access and printing, reference -- and a convenient neighborhood pick-up location for holds. An elevator from the garage makes parking quick and easy.

Way too loud! Babys crying? Kids running around screaming? Multiple cell phones on loud and people on their cell phones talking aloud. I am apalled... I have never experienced a library with such noise. Its a shame that I'll end up somewhere else when this is in my neighborhood. First time here. Probably the last.
