||| FROM PHIL HEIKKINEN for ORCAS ISLAND LIBRARY |||


We continue gradually to increase our building’s open hours, most recently adding two hours to the start of the day. We’re now open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the same days of the week as before, Mon-Wed-Fri-Sat. Library users can continue to come in to browse all of our collections, in addition to using one of the public computers, study tables, or comfortable chairs.

Also, we’ve remodeled the former lobby to include a beautiful new standing-height countertop.

We hope that we can continue to expand our open hours next by adding additional open days of the week. Our strategy is to make careful changes that we can sustain long-term.

As always, be sure to share your questions and feedback by calling us at 360-376-4985 or emailing Library Director Phil Heikkinen at pheikkinen@orcaslibrary.org
