The Gregory Heights Library is a branch of the Multnomah County Library, in Portland in the U.S. state of Oregon.[1][2] The branch offers the Multnomah County Library catalog of two million books, periodicals and other materials.[1]
The library branch first opened in 1938. The current branch, located at N.E. 79th Avenue and Sandy Boulevard, opened in 1966. It cost $83,000 to build, and was designed by the architecture firm Farnham and Peck.[2][3]
History
The library operated as a small reading room at 3448 N.E. 72nd Avenue from 1938 through 1956, when the Library Association of Portland replaced it with a bookmobile. By 1962, the association had approved construction of a branch in the Gregory Heights neighborhood. The new Gregory Heights Library, at N.E. 79th Avenue and N.E. Sandy Boulevard, opened on February 24, 1966. Its collection included 10,000 books.[2]
In the 1980s, the library added computer terminals, more books, and southeast Asian materials in Vietnamese and Cambodian. After Multnomah County voters approved a bond measure in 1996 to repair branch libraries and improve library technology system-wide, Gregory Heights Library closed in July 1998 for renovation. It reopened on March 2, 1999.[2]
The original architect of the building was Farnham and Peck. Thomas Hacker and Associates was the architect for the renovation. The library has a floor area of 5,997 square feet (557.1 m2) and a capacity of 20,000 volumes.[2]
The library closed temporarily in 2023–2024 for renovations funded by a 2020 building bond.[4]
