— from Martin Arnold —

The Orcas Island Library parking lot will be closed temporarily this Friday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. for repair.

For two weeks, from Monday, May 29 through Friday, June 9, the parking lot will be closed for repaving and striping.

During times of parking lot closures, the Library asks patrons to park on the street or in the north lot at the Orcas Island Community Church. Please respect local businesses and home owners by not parking in private spaces.
