Although this is *a* Multnomah County Library, the library in question is Central Library. The title of this article is misleading.
- Kris, please feel free to fix up the wiki. I appreciate your sensitivity to my edits :-) and I encourage you to feel free to edit them, leaving a summary edit (such as this talk page message) would be great! Best, MarkDilley
Libraries vs. Library
I think this oughtta be "Library" not "Libraries" -- my understanding is that that is the name of the *institution* (as opposed to a collection of buildings). The buildings are just one aspect of the overall institution; its holdings, its personnel, etc. would be other ways of looking at it. Their web site uses the singular. -Peteforsyth (talk) 08:22, 20 July 2010 (PDT)
- Or, on the other hand, if this is just going to always be a list of the locations, maybe just un-capitalize "libraries" and leave it plural. -Peteforsyth (talk)
