Belmont Library Closure Update: SE 36th and Hawthorne

July 17th Update:

Belmont Library will close at the end of August 2024, for much needed and welcome renovations! Multnomah County Library (MCL) is setting up a temporary site so we can pick up MCL items placed on hold. That site will open early September.

Official announcements with ,pre details will be made shortly, but the temporary site will be at SE 36th and Hawthorne, a great location if you want to combine food and retail shopping,, banking, eating, and more at the same time you pick up your holds, and an especially terrific location for those of us who are Car-Free.

The Hawthorne location is on the Trimet 14 bus line and a few blocks from the Cesar Chavez Blvd 75, Belmont 15, and Division St FTX bus lines.

While Belmont is closed, take the opportunity to visit other MCL locations:
