Central Library Celebrates 100 years
‘Crown Jewel’
of library system
highly prized
On S a tu rd ay , S ept. 7, the
Multnomah County Library will cel­
ebrate the 100th anniversary of the
iconic Central Library at 801 S.W.
10th Ave. in downtown Portland.
The free public celebration will
take place in the library’s Collins
Gallery, from 3 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. with
commemorative remarks, musical
performances and light refreshments.
The library is currently offering a
series of tours, presentations and
discussions to mark the occasion.
Central Library was opened on
Sept. 6,1913 under the leadership of
Mary Frances Isom during a period of
prolific growth and expansion of
Multnomah County’s library system.
Her nearly 20-year tenure as the
head librarian coincided with the
lib r a r y ’s co m m en c em e n t as
Oregon’s first free, tax-supported
public library, open to all. During
her time in this role, the library sys­
tem grew from one single down­
town building to 16 locations dis­
tributed across Multnomah County,
as the population of the county
nearly tripled.
The planning and construction
of Central Library, seen by many as
Isom ’s greatest achievement, be­
gan years earlier with chief architect
Albert E. (A.E.) Doyle. The library
was designed and built with the
needs of patrons at the forefront, an
unusual approach at the time.
Central Library continues to be a
unique and highly utilized commu­
nity asset to this day. Last year,
more than 850,000 patrons visited
Central Library, checking out or re­
newing almost 1.5 million items.
“Central Library exemplifies how
public libraries improve communi­
ties,” said Central Library Director
Dave Ratliff. “Each day, thousands
of people come here for everything
from help finding a job to help fin­
ishing their homework. For a hun­
dred years, this library has worked
with people to better their station in
life, spark a love of learning, dis­
cover information, or j ust find a great
book to read. It’s an honor to carry
this proud tradition into the next
century.”
