I heard this episode of Think Out Loud on the radio this morning. http://www.opb.org/thinkoutloud/shows/local-library/
Its all about the role of Public Libraries in our communities. Turns out that the Multnomah Public Library system is the second most used library system in the United States – just behind the Queens Public Library which has 80 branches and serves millions of people!
Go Multnomah County!

I knew there was something special about your library the first time I set foot in it. Quite literally, it reeked of a library that would rank the second most used library system in the U.S. I miss your library. Our Central library is nothing more then a destination. A library that people come from here and there simply to say they have seen it. This is not what a library should be. It is user unfriendly.
My neighborhood library, Queen Anne, is lovely on the other hand. It is always a swarm of activity and charm. Just what one needs in a library. Remember when you wrote your piece for Unleashed on the library and the importance of it? I was so proud of your understanding of this concept at such a young age. You really got it. Years later I would meet the Executive Director of the Yakima Public LIbrary and she would tell me that she saved your article and pinned in to a bulletin board. I was so proud. I am still so proud. You are a lovely woman and I am glad that you are mine. Sweet dreams my Portland Beauty.
