• Oregon's Carnegie libraries: Oregon City's peripatetic library • Oregon ArtsWatch (orartswatch.org) — Oregon City's historic Carnegie library at 606 John Adams Street has grown into a 20,200-square-foot hub, thanks to a 2016 expansion funded by a voter-approved bond. Residents now benefit from expansive park-like grounds, a mail-delivery service for homebound patrons, and a rich Oregon history collection that reflects the city's role as the former territorial capital.
