Visitors do not need to register. For help, please come to the service desk on the second floor of the building.
Visitors may use print collections on-site. Most electronic resources may also be accessed on-site; visitors should ask for assistance if prompted to log in.
While we do not loan books directly to visitors, we can send books to other area libraries including Multnomah County Library, Libraries in Clackamas County, and Washington County Cooperative Library Services. Please inquire with your local public library to initiate an interlibrary loan request.
