Looking into the new Children's Library

The little house on the right is actually the book drop made for us by the Helmsmen - a local

business that creates amazing wood furniture!

They also made the small table and chairs.

 

 

A collage of our first visitor- he came to the grand opening on April 23rd.

He had a lovely time! It's so great to have a special room just for the children!

A TO Z 2015 Challenge! L is for Libraries and Love!

On September 15, 2014 a wildfire blazed through our little town of 3,000. Approximately 90 homes were burnt to the ground and another 60 homes were damaged. Our library, Senior nutrition center, Grace Presbyterian church, the Holy Family Catholic and community center were completely burned to the ground. Parts of the Roseburg wood products mill were damaged. Miraculously no was killed and only 3 firemen were injured.



 

Yesterday thanks to generous donations and city assistance our Library re-opened in a

new location! Here are a few photos

of a few of many volunteers setting up

the new location!

 

 

 Assembly always required!!

 

 

 Amazing amounts of cardboard

needing to be recycled!

 

 

 And....here come all the new books!
Not to mention all the donated books!
Tomorrow I will post photos of our
libraries new home!!
A great big Thank You goes
out to everyone who helped!
We love our library!!

Our little town has begun to recover and

rebuild, but this all will take time and money.
