I came out to the grand opening of East County Library in Gresham, now the second-largest library in Multnomah County. And wow! I was expecting it to be roomy, but this is next level! Very impressive inside and out. Huge crowd too for all the introductory festivities.
Turns out, people *love* libraries. Who knew? 😉

@jaredwhite@indieweb.social Libraries rule. If you're in for a great read, check out The Library: A Fragile History by Andrew Pettegree and Arthur Der Weduwen. It was so good I read it in basically one sitting. https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-library-a-fragile-history-andrew-pettegree/9ab793a1ac7dd242?ean=9781541603721&next=t

@jaredwhite@indieweb.social If you ever find yourself in Vancouver B.C. , their main library is not to be missed.
