Ellie Smartt Community Library
- Drop by for rest or community Tuesday thru Saturday from 10AM – 4PM (summer hours) or 8AM – 1PM (spring/fall/winter).
The Ellie Smartt Community Library is a unique and independent community library, created and sustained by volunteers and local support. Visitors are invited to browse through donated books, relax with a favorite read, and enjoy the welcoming atmosphere of this shared community space.
In addition to free Wi-Fi access and computers, you’ll find our History Corner with a collection of Oregon-specific history books, works by local authors and Hudson’s Bay Company–era artifacts.
The adjacent Outpost Café offers coffee and refreshments, making the library a perfect place to pause, read and connect with others.
Joan Arsenault Art Gallery
Located within the library, the Joan Arsenault Art Gallery showcases rotating seasonal exhibits featuring regional artists and creative voices. Exhibits can be enjoyed during regular library hours or by request whenever ECEC is open.
Joan Arsenault is a painter, a long-time ECEC volunteer, and a tireless advocate for the arts in Elkton. The gallery honors her commitment to creativity and community by providing a welcoming space for art to be shared, celebrated, and discovered.
Each season brings new work to explore, making every visit a little different from the last.
