The Fairview-Columbia Library is a branch of the Multnomah County Library, in Fairview in the U.S. state of Oregon. It serves residents of Fairview, Troutdale, Corbett, and elsewhere in the eastern part of the county.[1][2] The branch offers the Multnomah County Library catalog of two million books, periodicals and other materials.[1] HistoryLibrary service in Fairview was first established in 1903 via a "deposit station" in a private store, and later in the city hall. The deposit station closed in 1915. The Gresham Library served Fairview for decades, for instance with the head librarian visiting Fairview on a weekly basis for a children's story hour.[2] The new building opened on November 13, 2001, with a dedication ceremony held on November 17.[3] The opening of the Fairview branch marked the first of many mixed use buildings in the county system.[2][4] The library, with a floor area of 4,000 square feet (370 m2), is on the ground floor, and four apartments are on the upper floor.[2] Group Mackenzie was the building architect, and Thomas Hacker and Associates acted as a tenant improvement consultant. Commercial Contractors was the contracting firm on the project. The library can hold up to 20,000 books.[2] References
