NEWS BRIEFS: PA library renovations now underway … and other items

PORT ANGELES — Renovations are curtailing some services at the Port Angeles Library through Sept. 8.

Work began Monday on the $27,000 renovation.

Nearly 6,000 square feet of worn carpet will be replaced at the library at 2210 S. Peabody St. Walls also will be repaired and painted as needed, said Noah Glaude, assistant library director.
