Kenton Library

Kenton Library is a public library spanning two floors at North Denver Avenue with reading spaces and learning materials for the community. The facility provides access to books, computers, and other resources to support daily life and education.

The library was established in 2010 to expand services across the Multnomah County Library system in North Portland. This opening brought modern facilities and resources to an area that previously had limited access to public libraries.

The space hosts regular language exchange sessions where English and Spanish speakers from the neighborhood meet to practice together. These gatherings bring community members with different backgrounds into direct conversation.

The library is open Monday through Saturday from 10 AM to 6 PM, with later closing times on Tuesday and Wednesday until 8 PM. Plan your visit during quieter weekday hours if you prefer a calmer environment, or come on weekend afternoons when more seating is typically available.

The library provides Sensory Accommodation Kits designed to help visitors with sensory needs use the space more comfortably. This detail makes the space welcoming for people with varying abilities and different ways of experiencing places.
