Food For Fines

February is Food for Fines Month at the library! Here's your chance to do two good deeds at once: clear up your overdue fines at the library and help the hungry. For every can/package of food brought in, the library will forgive $1.00 in overdue fines. Fees for lost or damaged items will not be waived.

Call for Artists

The application period is now closed.

The West Linn Public Library is calling for artist applications for exhibits. The deadline is 5pm on Monday, July 31, 2023.

The library's Community Room gallery hosts a monthly rotating exhibit of art. The library strives to present the best work in the widest possible range of media and styles throughout the year. The space is best set up for two-dimensional work, but a limited number of pedestals are available for three-dimensional work.
