Free library in Highlands

Published 10:18 am Tuesday, June 3, 2014

The Orcas Highlands is offering a free library and the community is invited to the grand opening.

“Orcas Highlands is excited to be the stewards for the Little Free Library on behalf of our  neighbors and our community,” say organizers.

The grand opening is on June 7, which is also a Firewise work day. People can also just drive or walk by to check it out.

The way it works is simple:

− Organizers stock the  library with a variety of books.

− You stop by and take whatever catches your fancy.

− You return and bring books to contribute.

− Books are always a gift – never for sale.

Little Free Library is a movement started by Todd Bol of Hudson and Rick Brooks of Madison, Wis., in 2010 and has grown to include little libraries in most states and dozens of countries.
