The Orcas Island Library and the Friends of the Library invite the community to the Library Picnic celebrating the 20-year anniversary of the present library building.

The picnic will be held on the library grounds from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, July 13.

There will be live music.  Kids can enjoy games on the lawn and fun inside a “bouncy house.”

Local historian and former Library Board President Tom Welch will be on hand to talk about the history of library services on Orcas Island.

Local businesses have donated door prizes, including a 10-inch Android tablet, a whale watching tour, a three-hour sailing trip, wine, a free oil change and more.

The Orcas Island Lions Club will be serving a ]complimentary pulled-pork sliders, coleslaw, and chips.  Free lemonade and bottled water will be available to slake thirsts.

Additionally, the Lions will sell draft beer, with proceeds going to local vision and hearing needs, scholarships for Orcas High School seniors, and many other local services the Lions aid.  And, of course, birthday cake!

For more information contact the Orcas Island Library at 376-4985.

This celebration is made possible through the generosity of the Friends of the Library.
