Library renovation fundraiser
Last summer, a new roof. In September, the Port Orchard Library
will undergo a major interior renovation.
The library will be closed Aug. 30 through Sept. 30, during
construction.
The library will get new carpet, more nooks and crannies in which
patrons can read or work on laptops, and repairs on downtrodden
features, such as ceiling acoustical tile.
The whole project will cost $100,000, of which roughly $70,000 will
come from Kitsap Regional Library’s capital budget. KRL officials
have planned for more than a year for the project, according to
Kathleen Wilson, branch manager.
The Kitsap Regional Library Foundation will provide up to $10,000,
and the Port Orchard Friends of the Library will donate roughly
$30,000.
Friends of the Library recently received a $1,000 donation from
Kitsap Bank. Fred Meyer earlier donated $5,000. With these large
donations, the Friends of the Library is about halfway to its
goal.
Friends of the Library will hold a comedy night fundraiser
featuring Dwight Slade at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Clubhouse at
McCormick Woods, 5155 McCormick Woods Dr. SW. Tickets, at $20 per
person, are available through brownpapertickets.com, at the library
or at the door.
Donations can be made at any Kitsap Bank branch or at the Port
Orchard Library. For information, call 360-876-2224.
