Little library installed
PORT ANGELES — The Happy Explorers Camp Fire Club with Revitalize Port Angeles and the city Parks & Recreation Department have installed a new little library in Jesse Webster Park.
Members of the public can take or trade a book at the little library outside the camp fire clubhouse, 619 E. Fourth St. Utilizing a “take a book, return a book” system, the library will be stocked and maintained by the club, though anyone interested can drop off a book.
Revitalize built and supplied the library structure.
The library is part of the club’s ongoing community service project “to add small, but impactful changes to the park to make it better and more inviting to the community,” according to a news release.
“The children came up with a list of items they wanted to see improved, added or changed in the park where the clubhouse sits,” said Darcey Beck, club leader.
