PORTLAND, OR – Midland Library will be closed on Wednesday, March 31, for the installation of radio frequency identification gates and new checkout stations. The new equipment will increase staff efficiency, enhance the security of library materials, and, most importantly, make it easier for patrons to use the library.

During the library closure, the book drop will remain open. Materials may be returned at the book drop or at any other Multnomah County library. The nearest libraries are Rockwood Library (17917 S.E. Stark St.) and Holgate Library (7905 S.E. Holgate Blvd.).

To minimize the impact on library users, no Midland Library items will be due on March 31 and no items on Midland’s hold shelf will expire on March 31.

Please see the library’s website for more information about these and other upcoming service improvements.
