The Hollywood Library is a branch of the Multnomah County Library (MCL), in the Hollywood District of Portland in the U.S. state of Oregon.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hollywood Library )〕 The building, at N.E. 40th Avenue and Tillamook Street, opened in 2002, and has three residential stories above the library. The previous building, constructed in 1959 at N.E. 39th Avenue and Hancock Street, was expected to be sold in 2003 to a private party, for its appraised price of $675,000. The branch offers the MCL catalog of two million books, periodicals and other materials.〔 ==History== Known until 1959 as Rose City Park Library, the branch opened in 1917 at 1236 Sandy Road. Heavily used, the library soon ran short of space, and neighborhood residents sought funds for a larger building. By 1926, a new building designed by architect Jamieson Parker (who also designed the Belmont Library) was completed.〔 It opened in August that year at 1170 N.E. Hancock Street.〔 In the 1950s as part of a long-range library plan, Multnomah County hired the Stewart and Richardson architectural firm to design a new building of for Rose City Park Library. The building, at 3960 N.E. Hancock Street, was completed, and it opened in April 1959. Two months later, the library board changed the name of the branch from Rose City Park Library to Hollywood Library, which better reflected the name of the neighborhood it served.〔 By 1996, circulation at this library had more than doubled to an average of 47,000 items per month. Voters in that year approved a bond measure to improve libraries, especially the Hollywood branch and three others. The library hired architect Thomas Hacker and Associates and Sockeye Hollywood, a development firm, to construct a mixed-use building at N.E. 40th Avenue and Tillamook Street. The building, completed in 2002, has 47 mixed-income apartments above the library. The library itself has of floor space, and the ground floor also has of retail space. The new library opened on May 7, 2002.〔
