Many thanks to our community for the great turn out for the Friends of the Lopez Island Library book sale on July Fourth. We had one of the best sales ever and sold out of our book bag specials by 11 a.m.! Kudos to our hard-working volunteers who work all year sorting and preparing for our twice a year book sales. Here are some examples of where the money goes:

Once again it is time to dust off your running or walking shoes and get ready for the 31st annual Lopez Lions-sponsored 4th of July road event starting at 8:30 a.m. in the village.
