The downtown fountain is babbling pleasantly again. There has been beautification work on the streets (new trees and improved pedestrian crossings). There has even been a new cruise ship depositing new adventurous souls downtown.
After a busy June, when we brought in a lot of books and curated some special lists to celebrate Pride month, the upcoming calendar looks chock full: Independence Day, the Sequim Lavender Festival, and the start of the Summer Olympics. Oh, and Shark Week, we're told. It is also National Culinary Arts Month, so keep your eye out for some special cookbooks and maybe even some recipes from us next month.
The other thing that happens this time of year is that we overcome our habitual reluctance to toot our own horn, and humbly ask that you consider voting for us in the contest Best of the Peninsula.
