The 16th season of the Milwaukie Poetry Series continues on November 9 at 6pm with a live reading at the library by poet Tiel Aisha Ansari. Seating limited to 50. 

The Milwaukie Poetry Series and the Ledding Library are celebrating National Poetry Month by sponsoring a Spring Reading and Open Mic on Wednesday, April 5, 2023 from 6:00-7:30 PM. Our Featured Readers will be Carolyn Martin, John Morrison and Scot Siegel.

The Linwood Neighborhood District Association (NDA) invites the community to a 2022 Candidates Forum. The forum will include candidates running for Mayor and City Council positions 1, 2, and 4. To learn more about the next City Council election on Tuesday, November 8, 2022 visit www.milwaukieoregon.gov/elections. 

Due to a staff meeting, the library will open late on October 12 at 10:30am.

Join us for Arbor Day on Saturday, Oct. 22 for a variety of fun events to celebrate Milwaukie's urban trees and greenspaces!

Trees make our community more livable by shading hot streets, cooling streets and homes, stabilizing soils, cleaning air and water, increasing property values, playing important cultural and historical roles, and contributing to the look and feel of the city. 

Bring your friends and family and join the Portland Waldorf School for this 40th Anniversary celebration of the changing of the season. Enjoy activities and entertainment as the community gathers in gratitude.
