My wife's office used to be in the Medical Dental building on 12th right behind the Central Library in Portland. So, I've spent more than a few hours burrowing through the library building which I find endlessly fascinating in its design and decoration. Paintings by such noted local artists as Henk Pender, George Johanson and Clayton Price are on permanent display. Visitors can easily spend an hour or two in the Library depending on their interest in the temporary exhibits on display in the Collins Gallery on the third floor. The Beverly Cleary Children's Library is a particular delight.
