The Oak Lodge Library is getting a new chapter, as it prepares to shutter its doors at the current McLoughlin Boulevard location on August 16th, making a move to a fresh facility on Concord Road, this key community resource will be temporarily inaccessible as staff diligently work to transition their services and collections to the new building, an event marked with both logistical challenges and the promise of an enhanced patron experience, the announcement was made via the Clackamas County website.
Before the relocation, holds will freeze on August 6 but fear not, your spot in line is safe, the Oak Lodge’s doors stay open for hold pickups until August 14, after that, you’ve got to turn to other LINCC libraries to return your borrowed narratives, the last day to slide those books into Oak Lodge’s return slot is the 14th, after which you'll need to make a brief pilgrimage to neighboring locales should you wish to unburden yourself of your borrowed tomes. Most due dates are being pushed to October 6, giving you a longer leash to saunter through pages, excluding interlibrary loans, which stick to their original return by dates.
Once the dust settles and the last book is shelved, a grand opening celebration awaits patrons on October 18, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. This isn't just about flipping the page to a new library, but also unveiling a North Clackamas Parks and Recreation District community center and park.
