WEST LINN - West Linn is a city with its eye to the future and a history of innovation in its parks and recreation system. With the adoption of the 2007 Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Plan, the City established a conceptual trails network as an integral part of making West Linn a livable city that contributes to the health and wellness of its community members.
The West Linn Public Library regularly offers classes for patrons wishing to improve their computer skills and knowledge. We offer classes on a wide variety of topics: computer basics, e-mail basics, internet basics, Word, Excel, and searching the library's catalog and databases.
