The Tigard Library should have a poem or song written about it. It sits next to a grove of tall pine trees, and when you enter, you're drawn to the softness of the terracotta colored walls, the brand new computers with a two-hour limit, instead of the usual one, and it has a coffee shop. Yes, you can write on the computer and sip your favorite latte, mocha or blended espresso drink as long as there is a lid on it. There is a reading room that has one long wall of windows and a fireplace with cozy chairs and library tables. Tigard Library spoils and calms. It is truly the perfect library, complete with view, couches, books and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee.
