Multnomah County Library - Troutdale — Attraction in Troutdale

usually when i give reviews i try to be as detailed as possible. so new comers and regulars alike can either picture how well the place is before coming their first time, or for those like me who visit every now and then to seeif it has changed either for the better or the worst. i honestly have been here as often as when i lived out and troutdale. I’d say the place is interesting. multnomah libraries seem to be open with a lot of ideas and cultures. this library is no different. they host different clubs and cool events for people of all ages. it is close to Reynolds high school and not far from mount hood community college. which is essential if you want a place to study. the place is generally quiet as well. at times there may be a loud occurance. but the staff are usually pretty good at dealing with that. just like most, if not all libraries, it has computers if you need to use them. i think its 2 1-hour sessions you can be on. however they have chromebooks to use which is a seperate time limit. this is nice for high schoolers and college students as it aids them in things to go with computer related work. such as doing research online, to having good wifi service (login required) to even just typing up something using online apps like microsoft word online. not a computer person? well there’s books to look around for. and if you cant find what you are looking for then it is much possible to place holds on things. they even have a public restroom and water faucet. which in my personal opinion is a plus. because a lot of places nowadays dont let people use their restrooms. now as far as the area itself, i think it is quite convient. plenty of places to get food such as subway, mcdonalds, and god father’s pizza for some food if you get hungry later on in the day. shopping for something else? theres places like walmart and gamestop down the hill from mcdonalds going down 238th ave. and theres a fred myers with its own strip mall going towards portland on glisan. there is also a lot of trees and fun places to hang out. the only concern is the homeless people that live close by. not trying to judge anyone but there has been a couple occurances of people being attacked. one of my neighbors included. but other than that, i think it is a...

very kind and helpful staff here at my recent visits. i had volunteered for the summer reading program many years ago and the staff were just as great, so it's nice that has continued. i was able to get a new library card very quickly, just put some information in on the computer and picked the card up at the front desk after submitting it. the library is a bit on the smaller side but i was able to find some great books for my classroom and for myself. i was able to find some books that were more math focused and others that introduced more niche cultural experiences to children. for the size this location has a lot of computers and free events, great...

Smaller library with normal resources. They provide headphones if asked. The small space makes it so it is never quiet. The ones behind the counter talk constantly in different languages with no desire to produce an environment for reading, but rather a coffee shop sort of atmosphere. I wish our libraries in these pretty cities had a standard of reading and not of visiting. If you plan to talk in more than one language, use electronics, or gossip, this is a 5 star library. If you want to read I give it 2 stars unless you are deaf. Rudy and Griselda were the people who helped me today. If you like this sort of environment, which the majority do, give...
