— from Martin Arnold for the Orcas Island Public Library —

The Orcas Island Library will be celebrating the grand opening of its new building addition, from 5 to 8 pm on Friday, June 23.

Join us for a free dinner, including bratwursts, hot dogs (meat and vegetarian), sauerkraut, ice cream, and cake. Come tour the beautiful new addition and new landscaping. At six p.m. we’ll have a brief program, followed by more time to enjoy the new indoor and outdoor spaces.

Also, there will be a no-host beer stand, courtesy of Island Hoppin’ Brewery, with all proceeds going to the Friends of the Library.
