A photograph of three members of the Midland staff displaying Midland's birthday cake. They are standing behind a table covered with a yellow tablecloth. To the right of the photograph are paper plates and plastic utensils neatly arranged on the table. Two women are wearing birthday hats that read 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY', Lee Catalano on left and Carolyn Schell on right. Colorful confetti and ribbon surround the writing on the cake, which reads 'HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY MIDLAND LIBRARY.' The background displays a varicolored mural with the words 'TALKING LEAVES.' The rest of the first word is hidden behind a woman. Multnomah County Library staff and patrons celebrated the 5th birthday of Midland Library in September 2001.
