Each ride in this series will start at a Multnomah County Library (MCL) branch and end at a different library system, with an opportunity to sign up for a card at both locations. Did you know that if you live in any Portland area county — Multnomah, Washington, Clackamas, or Clark — you can get library cards for all of those systems? Each library system has a unique selection of materials and services, so collect 'em all! Libraries also make great pit stops while out riding — water, bathrooms, a quiet spot to stop and rest without having to spend money — so knowing your library branches can be very useful even when farther from home. This month's stop is Milwaukie, which is part of the LINCC system (Libraries in Clackamas County). We'll start at the new-ish MCL Holgate branch, swing by the recently-reopened MCL Woodstock branch (and maybe buzz by the currently-closed MCL Sellwood branch), then head down to Milwaukie to the downtown Milwaukie Ledding Library branch. If you want to sign up for a LINCC library card, bring photo ID and proof of address. For more details and what kind of documents to bring, see https://lincc.ent.sirsi.net. (September is even "Library Card Sign-up Month"! https://www.ala.org/conferencesevents/celebrationweeks/card) Ride is not a loop; return directions gladly given, and the MAX Orange Line is also close by. Route map: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/52572615 Also happening in downtown Milwaukie on Sundays: * Sunday Book Sale at the library, 10:00am–2:00pm (leddingfriends.org) * weekly farmers' market, 9:30am–2:00pm (milwaukiefarmersmarket.com) * lots of shops and more — explore the area before heading back! A future ride in this series will head to the Beaverton library (Washington County, WCCLS), date TBD. (If you're banned from Shift, you're banned from this ride.)
