The vanished outgrown trees will be replaced with Bowhall and Armstrong maples. The crossings will be more accessible. Tripping hazards soon be haunting memories. People are working hard to make things better, and we are here for that.
Where else are we? Glad you asked: at the Olympic Peninsula Fungi Festival this weekend (Oct. 19-20), and out on the sidewalk (Oct. 31) handing out books to kids for the Downtown Trick or Treat 2–5 PM (donations are still welcome!).
And now, to address a bit of important news:
As many of you have heard by now, our much-loved bookstore is for sale.
We are so grateful and humbled by all the words of support and encouragement we have received, not only in the past few weeks but for the past 38 years. Without all of you, this bookstore and what it means to our community, would not have been possible.
It is now time to pass the torch to a new generation of bookseller. We repeat bookseller, who can grow this into a great future. We would love to see it go into the hands of someone or some group of booklovers who are connected to the community and will continue Port Book and News as a beloved fixture in Port Angeles, but make it their own. So if you know anyone... more information is available online.
