Hollywood Library

The Hollywood Library is a branch of the Multnomah County Library , in the Hollywood District of Portland in the U.S. state of Oregon. The building, at N.E. 40th Avenue and Tillamook Street, opened in 2002, and has three residential stories above the library. The previous building, constructed in 1959 at N.E. 39th Avenue and Hancock Street, was expected to be sold in 2003 to a private party, for its appraised price of $675,000. The branch offers the MCL catalog of two million books, periodicals and other materials.
Known until 1959 as Rose City Park Library, the branch opened in 1917 at 1236 Sandy Road. Heavily used, the library soon ran short of space, and neighborhood residents sought funds for a larger building. By 1926, a new building designed by architect Jamieson Parker was completed. It opened in August that year at 1170 N.E. Hancock Street.
