Central Library

In 2008, Multnomah County's Central Library became the first library in Oregon to feature an eco-roof. Constructed with living plants and simulating the processes that occur in nature, eco-roofs absorb rain water like a meadow in a natural setting.

The Central Library eco-roof is not accessible to the public. Frequent backstage tours allow you to see the roof from windows overlooking the roof.

The 20-minute tour begins at the first floor Welcome Desk.
Registration required; register online, in the library or by calling 503.988.5234.
