About
The Central Library is a three-story public library branch in the downtown core of Portland, Oregon, United States. Opened in 1913, it serves as the main branch of the Multnomah County Library system. In 1979, the Georgian style building was added to the National Register of Historic Places as the Central Building, Public Library. The library underwent major structural and interior renovations in the mid 1990s. The library also underwent a refresh in 2023.

Central Library at SW 10th & Morrison. You don't need a library card to use the wifi anymore, and the third floor is dead quiet.
- Wi‑Fi: yes
