All Aboard! We are building a new library in the Monroe/South Benton County, Oregon area. By using Monroe's historic train depot as a focal point at the new library we are bringing our community's past into the present. As in the past, train depots became a central meeting place in communities, our new library-with restored train depot-will continue in that tradition. We are a branch of the Corvallis-Benton County Public Library and we bring people and information together!

Another Picture of the Depot
Here is another shot of this beautiful building positioned
very carefully parallel to the highway. Wish I had time
to put more pictures up on the blog today, but I have to
get ready to leave for a week. My oldest son is getting
married this Saturday and after that, we should get the
video of the depot move up and on the blog.
