West Slope Community Library in June 1974 - former clubhouse of the Multnomah Athletic Club West Slope Community Library in November 1987 West Slope Community Library celebrates
its 70th anniversary this year! |
West Slope Community Library celebrates its 70th anniversary this year! The library began as the first community service project of the Century Club for Women and operated in the basement of a local bank for its first 24 years of operation before moving in 1974 to its next location adjacent to Raleigh Park School. The building the library occupied there had its own unique history - originally built to be a clubhouse for the Multnomah Athletic Club, it had been purchased by the Gabel Country Day School in 1935, then acquired in 1957 by the Beaverton School District as an administration building. The library operated out of this former BSD print shop until the building was torn down. In the spring of 1979, the library reopened in the modular building it still occupies today. West Slope Community Library could not serve the West Slope community without the support of its volunteers and Friends through the decades - thank you! |

 "Archaeologist and medieval historian Langlands traces the deep history of making to it's pre-mechanical roots. Craefting not only represents the practice but the deep knowledge and wisdom that comes with knowing the land and natural materials. Great for historians and hobbyists." - Kristen, West Slope Community Library |
 "A rollicking, fast-paced debut memoir about the author's underdog attempt to win a 1,000-kilometer horse race across the Mongolian countryside at the age of 19. I greatly enjoyed this winning combination of adventure, self-reflection, and irreverent wit told in short, poetic chapters." - Thea, West Slope Community Library |
"Adam Savage busted myths on TV for years but has been a Maker his entire life. Part biography, part maker philosophy, and part how-to, this book has something for everyone interested in the DIY movement." - Kristen, West Slope Community Library |
