We're switching things up with our newsletter. Instead of one monthly edition, you'll now hear from us twice a month, making it easier to keep up with everything happening at the library.
We are accepting bids for the Library Reroofing Project! This marks an important milestone in Project Little Red, a multi-year effort to preserve and improve Lopez’s beloved historic library for generations to come. Replacing the aging and leaking roof is a critical first step in protecting the building, safeguarding our collections, and ensuring the library remains a welcoming community space well into the future.
Qualified contractors are invited to review the project and submit bids. All relevant project information is available athttps://lopezlibrary.org/reroof/.
We're immensely grateful to the community, donors, Friends of Lopez Island Library, San Juan County PFFAP, and Washington State Department of Commerce for helping us reach this exciting milestone!
