A new, temporary Multnomah County Library location opened today, at the University of Oregon campus in Northeast Portland. In a press release, MCL said patrons can expect to use the short-term location through the summer of 2024—as it is meant to offset the system's renovation and construction projects, which have left a significant number of local library buildings closed. University of Oregon's campus in Northeast Portland was formerly Concordia University, before UO purchased it in.
Beginning today, Multnomah County Library patrons can check out and return books, use computers and wi-fi and get personalized help at a new temporary library location on the University of Oregon campus in NE Portland. The new service will help offset a series of construction-related closures to build, expand and renovate libraries as part of a 2020 voter-approved bond measure.
