Reviews of Beaverton City Library (Library)

Tanya Lee

One of my favorite community locations of all the states and places I have ever lived. Beautiful, accessible, welcoming; a treasure for us fortunate enough to call Beaverton H❤️ME!

Kowan McGarry

A good library to find peace and quiet, a lot of computers. Dvds, cds and books.

Mark Weathers

Lots of areas for everyone except the average person. If you are an adult, there's no place for you downstairs at all. Upstairs there are limited, tightly packed public computers and a handful of tables for people to squeeze in real close. People don't silence their devices and are constantly talking loudly on the phone. If you confront them, it's like talking to a zombie.

Christina Wilborn

David D'Ambrosio

I appreciate that it is actually quiet.

Crystal Carlson

This is the library we visit most often. It has a wonderful children's section with toys and iPads, which ensure that my kids love the library as well. The librarians are helpful and kind, and there is always some new, fun thing to be discovered here.

Great

Great selection! There is also a fixit work station for your bicycle on the east of the library.

Ryan Collins

I haven't been in a library in a decade. I was there for a presentation and speaker series. Impressed to see how busy and relevant the library continues to be for young people. The event I attended was first rate.

Praveen Kothapally

Awesome experience everytime we go there... love the variety of books in the library.

Marlon Jimenez

Nice!

Elliot Lisac

Large library in Beaverton with attentive and helpful staff. There are plenty of computers available for use, a large selection of digital media (cds, dvds, blurays, etc). The facilities are well maintained and well utilized by the community.

Ronald Brown

Plenty of computers, there's always one open. Staff is friendly and helpful. Nice ambiance, quiet for the most part. Good children's section.

Elvin Gastelum

Used to come here and read a book once a week. Decent variety of books, helpful staff, and segregated quiet areas. They have comfortable seating. People come here to finish group projects. Downside would be that there are a lot of homeless people (probably come from the local transit center) who come just to sleep and use the restrooms. Also be ready to be approached by people trying to sell you things when entering or exiting the library.

I love coming here for Anime Club. I just wish Anime Club was every Tuesday (excluding holidays). However, the library, should look into improving curbside drop off, of library patrons (like myself).

High level of professional services by dedicated and friendly staff. Can locate my favorite magazines including the Economist both online and print. Business events bulletin board and other local business resources are readily available @ 2nd. floor, awesome! A happy camper.

Ana Casner

Love this place. I went there on a Saturday and was pleasantly surprised by how quiet it was upstairs, very suitable for work and research. Lots of useful info to be had beyond the basic library stuff.

Richard Moberly

Great library, programs, family friendly!

Mason Knack

Best library in Washington County by far!

Xalia Andrews

Great programs for all ages. Easy to order books you want at home and pick them up later. Digital options and now a new thing where you can check out appliances.

Hj Y

Every so often, our family spends rainy weekend here reading. We love the coziness of the wood interior.

Alessandro Pia

Totally huge.

Suzanne I

Story times are great.

Galin McMahon

I love this library. So much for my little guy to do there. Great movie selection...I barely even use streaming with their selection. The only thing that could use improvement is their 'card catalog.' I've had to enlist help just to find a computer that is capable of looking up books...in a library. There should be several CLEARLY MARKED computers that are set up for looking up books and that don't require logins and passwords and help from librarians. Not giving free access to the book catalog is an unnecessary impediment.

Kathleen Binn

Love this library. Always quiet, and friendly, helpful people. Parking is bad in summer, so go by bus.

Naomi Parry

They are very helpful

Josephine Thompson

I love the location this library has everything I need it's on my way home and on the bus line

Tina Dotson

I think the staff needs to be more aware of people who come there. My very kind would never hurt a fly disabled son used there computer and then his brother came in about 5 min before he ran out of time so he used his brothers nunber. Now he did this and they flipped on him. His younger brother was very upset and my son didn't understand why it was a problem or even that he couldn't do it again. Sadly he did a couple days later and unfortunately i only found out then. They banned him for like a week he didn't still understand why but I tried to explain and he completely obeyed what they said except he went in on the 7th day not realizing e couldn't go until the 8th day (I even thought it was the right day) so then they banned him for 6 months. K he has autism.. what the hell. You can clearly tell he is mentally challenged but they don't care staff SUCKS AND THIS IS WHY I HAVE A BLOG ABOUT HOW PORTLAND AND SURROUNDING SUCK MORE THEN ANYWHERE ELSE.

William Weber

Great books, good layout, friendly workers

Francine Lyon

Great resources, and kids sections.

Absolutely loved it there! Great place to study or to come by and read a book. Always quiet. Great wifi. Many places to sit, most have power plugs to charge your phone or plug in your computer. Beautiful building with lots of natural light coming in. Nice park out front. Good selection of books. Helpful staff.

Lindsay Moreau

The building is beautiful, there is a huge area for studying, plenty of desks with outlets, and of course, lots of books! It is a great place to study.

PLANNERADDICT1969

Love this place! It's by far my favorite Library! Large selection of everything, including DVDs, audio books, juvenile books, etc. What I really love is the architecture-the wood is nice, it's sunny inside- it's a pleasing visual environment and overall it's generally quiet, although not as quiet as I would like at times. The Librarians have been helpful and check you out quickly, and they have several self-check. There are easily accessed bathrooms, too.

Jarno Makkonen

I like this library.

alden mcpherren

Jason Morgan

It's ok open for 4 hours on Sunday! Why even open?!

Jeff Neufeld

Excellent library, has a plethora of books and many other types of media including movies, videogames, and CDs. Has a lot next door so don't need to worry about parking. Next door has Saturday markets in the summer.

Piyawee Ruenjinda

It’s like a diamond mine since the library is part of Washington County Cooperative Library Services. You keep finding cool stuff that they offer. Thank you very much!

jesus potter

The library is a great place to take the time to read a book and collect oneself without being disturbed.

Sync. Gunner

People there were friendly and they helped you find any book or movie you want

Maria Vazquez

It’s okurr

Terrific Tara

Clean, inviting, helpful environment. Our libraries are awesome!

Zhong Jin

Librarians are very friendly. One of them just helped me locate a book in the backroom 2 minutes before closing. M-Th, it closes at 9pm, which provides invaluable convenience for people work late or family to go to after dinner. In comparison, Multnomah Library at Portland downtown, I was chased out 5 minutes before closing, and most of the days closes at 6pm :(

Emanuela Khachik

It's quiet there so I can focus more on reading than quieting people down, there are lots of books to choose from, there are multiple computers there so you don't have to wait to look for a book online. It's a very resourceful library!

Michael Sattler

This is a wonderful prototypical small-town library, with lots of books (unlike some of the branch libraries); sitting areas for reading, studying, and using computers; long racks of books, some audiobooks on CD, and bunches of things I haven't yet discovered. It's also next to the plaza where the Saturday morning Beaverton Farmers Market is held, so there's a two-for-one for you :-)

Ruth Britton Yasui

This is a very fun and large library. The children section is very nice and spacious.

Tate Breswick

Very comfortable building. With great selection of resources.

Danerd Greckle

A wonderfully expansive two story library, with two underground auditoriums. A wide selection of books, a modest selection of CDs, DVDs, Blu-Rays and Cassettes, and a fair amount of public computers for browsing the web, researching, finishing school projects, looking for work, etc. There are also various classes, events, study halls, and similar others thing that are hosted here as well, typically in one of the smaller private conference rooms they have on the upper story. The views are also wonderful. The Library is placed along the 76 and 78 bus lines, and very close to the 88, 52 and 57 bus lines. Relatively close to Beaverton Transit Center. All in all, this is an amazing multi-purpose facility for many different uses. As an aside, I remember before they ever built this place, and even before it became a concept. I remember watching them break ground on beginning the construction of it, and throughout it's construction to it's first form. I remember the three different remodels as well. As of writing this review, I am 24, for any who are either now curious, or simply came to start assuming I was up there in age. Either way, it was both exciting and disheartening. The latter since I know exactly what this "higher-class" level of builds and change causes in the long run (later came the higher-end Round/Central, expansion of Nike, expansion of the corporate industrial parks, the new waterpark/apartment home complex at Murray/Jenkins, and the latest additions nearest the post office and the new matchstick build high-end housing complex where the old westgate theater once resided). The prior, simply because I knew I'd get to utilize this new library for myself quite a few times, and would come to enjoy my time there.

Kimberlee Barde

I love the library soooooo much!

Ariel Fonseca Tamayo

Very nice place

Sylwia M. Bialczak

I totally love this library. Super easy self pick-up or drop-off. Librarians are very friendly and helpful. There are plenty of computers and desks for work. Community rooms and something happening all the time. It is a true neighborhood hub.

Kahira Moondancer

Friendly people, good atmosphere, easy to explore.

pasmi S

Ran Sheng

An amazing library!

david brown

An abundant amount of aliteration in a amblicable area!

heidi hi

Always a great experience with communication with the staff and programs that are on-time! As a nanny, I take full advantage of their storytimes. The main Librarian is so engaging and has established such an engaging and respectful environment.

Bryan Mabe

This is a library that makes you appreciate what the city has to offer. Great, easy location. The place has a huge selection for children and dedicates the first floor to them as well. It's a beautiful setting that anyone can get "lost" in. The selection is good, yet some of the more popular books they may not have available. One popular book my wife was wanting only had 7 copies available, but a 91 person long wait list. Why not get more copies if that's the case? Amazon has used books for $3. Besides the small annoyances of book availability, it's great. There's always a great book you haven't read and it's there somewhere.

Joel Cuozzo-Gonzalez

Go read a book Beaverton! The librarians and staff are great here!
