The system includes two branches and is a member of the Chemeketa Cooperative Regional Library Service, which serves the Salem metropolitan area.Table of ContentsHistory[edit]Main Library[edit]West Salem Branch[edit]References[edit]History[edit]The Salem Public Library was established by the Salem Woman’s Club in May 1904, with 50 donated books,[2] and located in the city council chamber beginning later that year. The library board appealed to industrialist Andrew Carnegie to fund the construction of a permanent library, and was granted $27,500. The library, located at the corner of State and Winter streets, opened on September 12, 1912.[3][4]The Salem Public Library was a founding member of the Chemeketa Cooperative Regional Library Service, a regional reference and catalogue system serving the Mid-Willamette Valley area, when it began in 1974.[5] In 2004, library supporters attempted to create a consolidated library district for Salem, to be funded by a permanent property tax, but were rejected by voters in the November 2004 election.[6]Main Library[edit]The downtown library was relocated to a larger building in the new civic center on July 6, 1972.[7] The library was closed in December 1989 to begin a $5 million renovation,[8] which was completed on January 26, 1991, and added 35,000 square feet (3,300\u00a0m2) of space.[9] A $18.6 million seismic and safety upgrade was completed in 2021.[10]West Salem Branch[edit]The Salem Public Library opened a branch in West Salem on October 17, 1957, in the former West Salem city hall.[11][12] The library moved to a larger, 5,400-square-foot (500\u00a0m2) facility at the Oak Hills Shopping Center on April 5, 1987.[13]References[edit]^ “Oregon Public Library Statistics”.
