The North entrance of the new library, still under construction. The large concrete door frame is engraved with "East County Library." Benches and tools sit inside the doors with ropes of wire hanging in various places.

The South exterior of the library. Large wood beams support the angular roof. Blue skies fill the backdrop.

The District 4 team and I toured the new East County Library in Gresham last week. We're so excited for the community to have a space to gather, study, create, and connect! Stay tuned for more updates.
