UPDATE:
The 2850 Broadway St. NE location closes at 4:45 p.m. Thursday, November 3. We will reopen on Monday, November 7, at 8:00 a.m. at 1163 State St., Salem, Oregon.
The State of Oregon Law Library is preparing to move back to 1163 State Street! The Supreme Court Building closed temporarily in the fall of 2019 for renovations to preserve and protect the historic structure and improve safety, function, efficiency, and access for years to come. The project includes seismic retrofitting and upgrades to heating, cooling, electrical, technology, plumbing systems, and accessibility to meet modern standards.
Law Library staff will begin the move-in process later this month. While we don't have a firm timeline of events, we do want to let patrons know of a few things to keep in mind during this time of transition:
-Our temporary location at 2850 Broadway NE, Salem, will remain open during our transition back to the Supreme Court Building.
-Reference staff is available to answer legal research questions, but we may need additional time to respond to requests.
-When searching in the catalog, only books with the location designation "SOLL Broadway" are available for use.
-Books cannot be checked out after October 14, 2022. Circulation will resume after the library move.
We appreciate your patience during the transition and look forward to seeing you in a new and improved space in the next couple of months!
