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!

Ready to Build!
The sign shows it all! We now have 100% of the funding we need to build the new library here in Monroe/South Benton! Thanks to everyone on the South Benton Library Project board who worked so diligently and carefully to get all the grant writing done! You all are so wonderful. Thank you to all of our donors! From the smallest donations given by our local students to the major foundations who were beyond generous with their donations. It's simply amazing to have been able to have our funding completed in such a short time period of 4 years.
Here are two links that say all the details more eloquently than I ever could. Besides, I am so excited I can hardly stop dancing!
