The Ledding Library of Milwaukie is a city-operated public library, a member of the Library Information Network of Clackamas County system, in Milwaukie, Oregon, United States. The branch offers the public with over three million books, periodicals and other materials.[citation needed]

Details[]

The current building is a one-story, 18,000 square-foot building opened in January 2020, [1] replacing a building which was constructed in 1964.[2] During construction, the library operated out a temporary location set up in a TriMet park-and-ride.[3]

The previous building had 2 levels: the main floor, and the basement, also called Rowe Children's Library. Dedicated on Dec. 16, 1964, the library had 11,800 square feet of floor space total. [2] As of 2013, the library was the third busiest in the county with 1.4 million annual transactions.[4]

The library also operates the Pond House on the east side of Scott Park (2215 S.E. Harrison St.), which is used for meetings and literary events[2] and also houses a used bookstore to benefit the library.[5]
