Telling a Story Through Pictures Lopez Island High School senior Isaac Gibson has volunteered at the library since the first of the year. Isaac excelled at shelf reading all sections of the library, ensuring books were in order so staff and patrons could find them easily. We appreciated his attention to detail and diligent work ethic. As a culminating project, Isaac curated a book and movie display on animation and graphic novels, a source of joy for him. Isaac wants patrons to know: This display contains a variety of titles that range from juvenile to adult. In other words, some of these titles may not be as kid friendly as others. Parental discretion is advised.
