This is the fourth year for the annual Fine Arts & Cool Crafts show and sale. Lynda Kotta, the NECC member who chairs the event, also is one of the juried artists. Her handcrafted greeting cards and wall hangings were popular at last year’s show. Rain City Cof- fee in Hollywood displayed her wall hangings in August, Portland’s Lan Su Chinese Garden sells a special series of her pieces and customers have mailed Kotta’s “Greetings from Oregon” cards across the world. A lifelong crafter, the retired utilities and public administration professional fell in love with paper designs five years ago while fashioning a birthday card for her brother-in-law.

While much of shrinkage can be due to theft, it is impossible to distinguish between this and misplaced or inaccurate material accounting. Results reported herein should be considered a baseline assessment and not an annualized rate. There are three general ways to categories how shrinkage occurs to the library collection: materials are borrowed by patrons and unreturned; items which cannot be located are subsequently placed on missing status; and materials missing in the inventory, where the catalog identifies them as being on the shelf, are not located after repeated searches. Each of these three ways was assessed and reported separately due to the nature of their tracking. Shrinkage was measured for all branches and outreach services and for most material types, with the exception of non-circulating reference materials, paperbacks, CD-ROMS, maps, and the special collections. This analysis reflected 1.67 million of the 2.06 million item multi-branch collection (87% of the entire collection).

  • Before the Multnomah County Library District Board
    BEFORE THE MULTNOMAH COUNTY LIBRARY DISTRICT BOARD RESOLUTION NO. 2017-057 Adopting the Multnomah County Library Space Planning Framework. The Multnomah County Library District (MCLD) Board Finds: a. Established in 1864, today's Multnomah County Library is one of the busiest, best and most beloved public library systems in the United States. b. The library offers a wide range of resources, services and personal assistance to people of all ages. c. The library commenced a space planning process in July 2016, engaging nearly 4,000 residents, community leaders, partner agencies, educators and nonprofits for input and carefully reviewed use patterns, demographic data and industry best practices. d. The physical structure of this system began in the Andrew Carnegie era, when libraries served vastly different purposes than today. e. Multnomah County Library's library spaces total just 260,000 square feet, a rate of just over 0.3 square feet per capita. Other Oregon library systems offer up to three times that amount per capita. f. All 19 Multnomah County libraries, plus library office and storage space, would fit into Seattle's downtown library. g. Growth projections show an increase of population to more than 910,000 in Multnomah County by 2035. h. Demographic data show increasing needs in east Portland and east Multnomah County, which offers just 25% of total library space, yet is home to 40% of residents. The Multnomah County Library District Board Resolves: 1. Adopt the findings of Multnomah County Library Framework for Future Library Spaces, authored by Group 4 Architecture. 2. Envision a resulting system of libraries that provides modern and adequate spaces for people across Multnomah County.

That was when the County Commissioners established a Citizen Action Committee to study the ability of the County’s 18 libraries to serve the community. A year later, in its “Library Framework” report, the Committee stated the primary issue succinctly: “The issue for Multnomah County Library is that it simply lacks space.”1 The Committee stated that the library facilities service level amounted to 0.3 square feet per capita system wide, and only 0.19 square feet per capita in East County as shown in the graphic below. The Committee recommended enlarging total library space to 0.7 to 0.8 square feet per capita and specifically adding more library space in East County. From that work comes the core of this ballot measure. 1 Library Space Planning Framework, June 16, 2017 https://multcolib.org/sites/default/files/Multnomah_County_Library_space_planning_framework_FINAL.pdf Property Tax Measure Review Ballot Measure 26-211 Multnomah County Library GO Bonds September 10, 2020 Purpose This bond measure seeks taxpayer approval to issue up to $387 million in General Obligation Bonds, the debt service for which will be paid for with a property tax levy that the County estimates will be $0.61 per $1,000 of Assessed Value with a term of not more than 9 years.
