Arbor Lodge Fruit Tree Giveaway – Pacific Madrone's now available
Arbor Lodge Fruit Tree Giveaway – 2023
New Trees! Yes, all the fruit trees are reserved, blueberry bushes too, but we have a new tree to offer you. If you've ever wanted to add the graceful Pacific Madrone to your yard, this might be your chance for free. These trees need full sun and very good drainage, so a slope is best. Go to https://arborlodgetrees.weebly.com/fruit-tree-giveaway.html and scroll until you find the sign up for Madrone trees.
The distribution is in person on Saturday, March 4th, 10-12 noon at Arbor Lodge Park on the east side near Dekum Street.

Public voting on the North Portland Library Redesign
As part of Multnomah County Library’s building and expansion program, North Portland Library is being renovated and expanded.
Public voting on the North Portland Library interior concept is live and runs until Monday, February 13. The voting will be available both in-person at North Portland and Albina as well as online on the website.
For in-person voting, there will be boards set up at Albina and North Portland libraries with three color options to choose from. People will be asked to drop a colored piece of paper corresponding with their favorite design option into a box. Once voting closes, the votes will be tallied and the results will be shared with staff and the community.
Translations for all library service languages are provided via the links at the top of the webpage and on the physical boards in Albina and North Portland.
