Community Bookshelves

Beaverton City Library Community Bookshelves

Beaverton City Library maintains several Community Bookshelves throughout the city that give our neighbors access to books without having to check them out or return them. The goal of these Community Bookshelves is to reduce barriers to using the library by bringing the library out into the community. All our Community Bookshelves are made possible by library partnerships with local organizations and businesses. 

Library staff currently maintain and fill Community Bookshelves in select:

Starting a new Community Bookshelf 

The locations of our Community Bookshelves are chosen intentionally as a part of the library’s Outreach Plan and are maintained in partnership with current library partner organizations. We welcome suggestions for new Community Bookshelves but we are not able to fulfill all requests due to staffing and materials availability. The library will consider a onetime donation of books to an inquiring organization if they are located within City of Beaverton and the library has an available stock of books. 

All book and material donations should go through the New Friends of the Library and we cannot guarantee that donated materials will be added to Community Bookshelves.
