Pam Schultz Davis, a member of the Oregon State Bar on inactive status, will be in the library every Tuesday and Thursday from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm to help both legal professionals and the general public with legal research. The law library shares a building with the Oregon Law Center and several local attorneys at 270 S. First St. in St. Helens. “I’ll be available to help patrons locate research materials as well as legal information and forms,” says Davis, who notes that many county residents represent themselves in various legal settings. “My goal is to help both professionals and the public make the best possible use of the wonderful resources available at our library.” The library provides a variety of print and digital resources. The Columbia County Law Library has recently undergone renovation. Patrons will find it to be a calm, clean, cool, well-lit, comfortable space for research, reading and writing. It offers two internet-equipped computer stations and Wi-Fi for patrons that bring their own digital devices. There are also tables for meetings and equipment for photocopies, printing and scanning.

In addition to sports physicals, Spencer Health and Wellness offers a entire community. In addition to Oregon statutes and other state and federal law books, patrons will find a section of self-help legal manuals, called NOLO Guides (as well as online access to all NOLO publications), and a document rack filled with legal information and forms designed to help the general public. Private work spaces, comfortable seating and conference tables are available for public use. Private conference facilities elsewhere in the building may be rented for a modest fee through the Oregon Law Center. For more information, stop by or call Pam Davis at (503) 396-5344.
