'''Libraries in Clackamas County''' (LINCC) is a [[consortium]] of the [[public library|public libraries]] of [[Clackamas County, Oregon|Clackamas County]], [[Oregon]]. It was established in 1977 when the first county-wide funding levy was approved by county voters. LINCC is a resource and revenue sharing network with a single [[library computer system]].

The consortium remains distinct from the '''Library District of Clackamas County''' created by a [[Initiatives and referendums in the United States|ballot measure]] voted on during the [[United States elections, 2008|2008 general election]].<ref name="ballot">{{cite web|title=Formation of Library District of Clackamas County |url=http://www.co.clackamas.or.us/docs/elections/200811/measure1.pdf |publisher=[[Clackamas County, Oregon]] |date=November 4, 2008 |accessdate=2010-07-04 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110603220911/http://www.co.clackamas.or.us/docs/elections/200811/measure1.pdf |archivedate=June 3, 2011 }}</ref><ref name="canby"/>

The Happy Valley Library was originally opened as the Sunnyside branch of the Clackamas County Library in 2012 to replace the Clackamas Corner branch near the [[Clackamas Town Center]].<ref>{{Cite news|title=Library space odyssey gets happy ending|last=Fugetta|first=Emily|date=April 12, 2012|work=The Oregonian (via Newsbank)}}</ref> The county transferred the library to the City of Happy Valley effective July 1, 2015.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://librarytechnology.org/library/1428|title=Happy Valley Library -- Happy Valley Library|website=librarytechnology.org|language=en|access-date=2018-07-13}}</ref> The City of Gladstone transferred their local library to Clackamas County effective December 1, 2019.

The member libraries share an [[integrated library system]] which allows cooperative borrowing. Shared services, including cataloging, computer support, courier, and [[interlibrary loan]], are coordinated by the Network Office, a department of the county government. The system currently offers nearly half a million titles, 1.2 million items, and serves over 200,000 members, who check out more than 6.2 million items each year.{{citation needed|date=July 2010}}

== Library District ==
In November 2008, Measure 3-310<ref name="ballot"/> was passed by Clackamas County voters, leading to the creation of a Library District that established permanent [[property tax]]-based funding for libraries in the county.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.ci.oswego.or.us/sites/default/files/archives/pressreleases/Clackamas%20Co%20Measure%203-310.pdf |title=Clackamas County Measure 3-310 |publisher=Clackamas County |access-date=July 6, 2022}}</ref>

The cities of [[Damascus, Oregon|Damascus]], [[Tualatin, Oregon|Tualatin]], and [[Johnson City, Oregon|Johnson City]] opted out of the district's creation.<ref name="ballot"/> In May 2010, a close vote by the small subset of [[Tualatin, Oregon|Tualatin]] residents who are also Clackamas County residents meant that they would join the district.<ref>{{cite news| title= Tualatin's Clackamas County voters barely supporting library annexation | newspaper= [[The Oregonian]] | url= http://www.oregonlive.com/tualatin/index.ssf/2010/05/tualatin_library_measures_election_results.html | date= May 19, 2010 | accessdate=2010-07-04}}</ref> Following a petition signed by 300 Damascus residents, Damascus voters approved a measure to join the Clackamas County library district in November 2010.<ref>{{cite news| last=Tims|first=Dana|title= Damascus residents mount campaign to join Clackamas County library district | newspaper= [[The Oregonian]] | url= http://www.oregonlive.com/happy-valley/index.ssf/2010/05/damascus_residents_mount_campaign_to_join_clackamas_county_library_district.html| date= May 15, 2010 | accessdate=2010-07-04}}</ref>
