Sellwood-Moreland Library

The Sellwood–Moreland Library is a branch of the Multnomah County Library, in the Sellwood neighborhood of Portland in the U.S. state of Oregon. First established in 1905 as the Sellwood Reading Room, it operated in several Sellwood locations before re-opening in 2002 in a new mixed-use building at S.E. 13th Avenue and Bidwell Street. The branch offers the Multnomah County Library catalog of two million books, periodicals and other materials.
First established in 1905 as the Sellwood Reading Room, this small library in a storefront opposite Sellwood School was the first public library in Multnomah County aside from the main library in downtown Portland. The reading room's collection, provided by the Portland Library Association, amounted to 150 books. Judged too small for the community's needs, the library was expanded in the same location to 1,000 volumes in 1907, when it was renamed the Sellwood Branch Library.
