Library will receive new furniture, updated kids’ area from this work
Hollywood Library will close to the public starting July 22 to start on a series of bond-funded improvements. Hollywood’s last day open to the public before construction is July 21. Project teams expect the work to last until winter 2025/2026.
Multnomah County Library is hard at work to build, expand and renovate library spaces for the public as a result of the voter-approved 2020 Library building bond. This year, the library system will see a dramatic reinvention by building and expanding five libraries and a series of Refresh projects to libraries across the system, requiring a series of temporary library closures.
The work at Hollywood Library is a continuation of the Refresh projects, providing smaller but still important upgrades to 11 libraries on a shorter schedule than some other projects. Similar refresh projects at other locations have taken about four months to complete.
New features will include:
Improved shelf height to increase natural light and create more space for people and better sight lines
An inviting children’s area with new, movable furniture
New reading room chairs (both with and without arms)
A Tech Bar which provides an area for patrons to use the copy machine, scanner and computers
New meeting room tables and chairs that are easily movable to allow for a flexible space
Automated materials handling to increase the efficiency of checking in and sorting holds, freeing up staff time for other work and getting materials to patrons faster
Fresh paint and new carpet for an updated, inviting experience
New artwork
Refreshed restrooms
New LED lighting throughout the building
The community is invited to use alternate locations while Hollywood is closed:
Albina Library: 205 NE Russell Street, Portland, OR 97212 (opening July 19, 2025)
Gregory Heights Library: 7921 NE Sandy Boulevard, Portland, OR 97213
Hawthorne Holds Pickup: 3557 SE Hawthorne Boulevard, Portland, OR 97214
For help using the library, please contact us. The library routinely posts closure or schedule change notices at library hours and locations.
Fun reigns at the Fred Meyer Junior Parade from the moment the lovable Fred Bear cuts the ribbon to the last float that goes down the street. Children from all parts of Portland participate by dressing in costume, transforming wagons into floats, decorating bikes with colorful flowers, or just by parading with friends and family. The parade also includes local school marching bands and dance teams.
The Junior Parade is the oldest and largest Children’s Parade in the Nation. Hope to see you there!
June 04, 2025 | 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM
