||| FROM DAVE KOSIUR for FRIENDS OF THE ORCAS ISLAND LIBRARY |||

Thank you, Orcas Island!

Thanks to the community of Orcas Island, the annual Summer Library Fair (after one year’s hiatus) was a resounding success! Book sales on last Saturday’s Library Fair netted the Friends of the Orcas Island Library just over $8,200. These funds will be used for annual grants to the Orcas Island Library to cover endeavors like the summer reading program, the elementary school book club, the young adult book club, and various community-based library programs, among others.

Our thanks go to all you book buyers and volunteers who, once again, made the Library Fair a success. In particular, we greatly appreciate the help of Island Hardware, Orcas Freight and the Orcas High School basketball teams coached by Ed Lago and Sada Ashcraft.
