About Us

Canby Public Library is a department of the City of Canby and member of the Libraries in Clackamas County (LINCC) consortium. When the library opened its Holly Street location in the late 1980’s, the library circulated about 77,000 items annually. Four decades later, we now circulate over 350,000 items annually. In addition, we have over 1,000 youth participants in the summer reading program, and thousands more attend various programs, visit exhibits, use the internet and computers, and take advantage of the spacious and welcoming facility. The library is here to support the community in their pursuit of information whether it be for research, business development, or recreation. 

Mission 

The Canby Public Library strives to provide a safe, welcoming, and dynamic environment where all come to learn, explore, invent, create, and connect with free and equitable services. By providing information, resources, assistance, programming, and access to technology, we are investing in a stronger Canby community.

Vision  

The Canby Public Library is a values-driven organization and community hub dedicated to cultivating personal and collective growth through quality services and compassionate interactions.
