Summer is coming and the reading is easy – if you know where your library is. Just a reminder, there are no limits on number of books you can check out or number of times you can renew a book, CD, or magazine.

We’ve seen some great beater cars and trucks sent in, and we would like to encourgae everyone to keep submitting them. The Weekly wants your photos of the most beat-up, character-full car you can find. Be it on the road or stuck in a field with three wheels, send us a shot and we may print it. All photos should be no less than 1 MB, be in JPEG format and be no larger than 300ppi. Please include who took the photo, what part of the island it was taken on and any other information you want printed with. Take this opportunity to celebrate a truly ‘island’ feature.
The Lopez Summer Workshops brochures for the Lopez Island Family Resource Center have been mailed. Anyone who has a mailing address or a P.O. Box on Lopez Island should have received one. They also sent out brochures to anyone who has participated in previous summer workshops. Summer classes are also available online at the website liferc@rockisland.org. Submit registration and fees early to reserve your slot. Classes have a limited space and can fill up quickly. Look for brochures at these locations; the LIFRC office, LVM, Library, Holly B’s, Islandale Store, and the Ferry Landing.
