Watch our Library Ground Breaking Ceremony
June 21, 2023 at 2 pm
This ceremony took place on a very warm day in mid-June, more specifically on the first day of summer. We had several county and city officials in attendance. Guests included our city mayor (Michael Milch), council members (Alexander, Cook, Garlington, Huckaby , Reichle, Roberts) Former Mayor Stemple, task force members (McClintock, O'Brian), Clackamas County Commissioners (Smith, Shull, Schrader, Savas, West), and Clackamas county administrator(Schmidt). Yes, there were golden shovels to turn over the first layers of dirt. This is a momentous ocassion that has been a source of discussion since the current library was designed and built back in the late 1940's. The new library will bring a fresh look to the downtown area, moderizing the look and feel of Gladstone, Oregon. This new library will bring vibrancy, excitement, and a sense of anticipation -- opening its doors to bring Gladstone together once and for all, as a united community.
