Wilsonville Public Library — Attraction in Wilsonville

First thing that grabs your attention when you walk into the library is a huge 8’x16’ framed 3 dimensional wooden portrait of Oregon countryside. I stopped to take multiple pictures! The librarian who helped me, Hayley, was a dream! Not just because of her beauty but her attitude was helpful, patient and inviting. Her attitude is what I look for in a library and what earned this place an extra star, making it a 5 star review! I think a welcoming attitude is essential at the library for most people, especially these days! Most adults have not read a book since high school. Many people do not know how to read so the library is intimidating for many. This was a clean and well balanced library. The children were not too rambunctious plus they are free to play and run around! This place deserves 5 stars.

extra anecdotes One male child was making a lot of noise. Hayley looked over wanting to help the child but was busy working while helping a patron. Before anyone could say anything to the child his mother backhanded him 3 times in the face and shut his mouth. ✅ *Outside I saw his mom smoking a cigarette and I reprimanded her for hitting him so many times because I do not support child cruelty. She thanked me and gave me a hug then I introduced her to my Lord and savior Jesus Christ! She appreciated that then she gave me her house address for Bible study. All love here. The boy, David, is 5 years old & he is my...

Best library we have ever been to! My kids loved coming here. They had so many programs to keep the kids engaged from STEM labs, baby story time, book walks through the park and more! And that’s just for the kids! My partner and I enjoyed the programs for adults too! Our personal favorite was the Murder Mystery Dinner. It was so fun! I also like the tarot workshop. Every fall I would rent their nice mixer to make my holiday cookies and they always have tons of interesting stuff to check out. Like lawn games or hiking backpacks! Don’t forget to check out their cultural passes where you can go to state parks, museums and events (like opera) for free! What really made the place special was the team. Especially Jo!! We recently moved away and miss her so much! And just the whole team. They really made this place special! I could go on and on about this place. And I do often, even not living near it. This place fostered community and showed me what a library can do for its community. I will be forever touched and inspired. Thank you guys for being such good friends to me and my daughters Juniper and Madrona. We will never forget you and only hope to be back to...

Terrible customer service. Was there August 13th in the evening. Spoke to two employees and received the same unwelcome feeling. Employees obviously can’t stand their jobs and need to move on to other employment. We went there to use their notary services. The minute we asked the notary, he was eager to say no. We ended up calling a mobile notary in town and asked them to meet us there. The Wilsonville employee who overheard us calling another notary, Made sure to tell at 7:30 that they close at 8 and will not stay open for anyone. Very rude. We watched him engage with other community members and it was pretty consistent with a scowl and a don’t bother me attitude. These people need to working in the back. They should not be...
