Library Information

  • Our library is located at 811 NW 20th Ave, Portland. Click here to see a map.
  • The building has several front steps. If you wish to use the ramp in back instead, please contact [email protected] at least 5 days in advance.
  • Only members of OFJ may borrow materials. Items are loaned for a period of one month. Fines are assessed at $.25 per item per day for overdue items.

Returning library materials

  • Bring them to the same building 9am-5pm, Monday-Saturday and place them into the drop-chute in our office door. This is a different room: enter the building on 20th, turn right, pass the mailboxes, turn left. The next door on your left has a wooden flap; lift and drop items inside. Do not drop them in the old mail chute in the building’s front door.
  • Bring them to the library during our normal open hours, 12-3pm on most Saturdays excluding program weekends and Saturdays tied to holidays; check “Library Hours” above for open dates before you come. The library is in Suite 101 on your left as you enter the building at 811 NW 20th Ave.
  • If you cannot return them in person, please leave us a message at 503.223.3080 and someone will return your call to make alternate arrangements.
