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!
