Hard Hat Day
We've built some new libraries and renovated others in Multnomah County.
Hard Hat Day is part of our opening ceremonies.
Before a library is officially open to the public children from local schools are invited to tour and inspect the library.
Here are some pictures from the Hillsdale and Hollywood Library openings.
The inspection begins with an official tour from library staff.
Everyone is given a hard hat and a clipboard to mark off important features at the library. All the inspectors check out books before they return to school.
Kids inspect the circulation and reference desks, book drop areas, check-out machines, drinking fountains and of course the collections of books, magazines, videos, dvds, cassettes, cds and cd-roms.
