Sequim – Things are coming along in the construction of the new Sequim Library.
The work began in spring of last year and is expected to be completed this summer.
With that in mind, the North Olympic Library System (NOLS) Board of Trustees approved three resolutions recognizing significant donations to the new Sequim Library during their regular meeting on March 27.
The first resolution acknowledges a $165,000 bequest from James and Agnes Williams and naming the library’s new ten-person conference room the “Williams Conference Room.”
The second resolution acknowledges a $50,000 donation from Brad and Janet Littlefield and naming a study room in honor of Janet Littlefield.
And a third resolution acknowledges a $50,000 donation from Mark and Sherry Meythaler and authorizes a study room to be named in their honor.
The previous 6,000-sqaure-foot Sequim Library was built in 1983 when the community’s population was less than half its current size. Along with overcrowded shelves, a small meeting room, and limited work space, the facility had outdated infrastructure including inaccessible bathrooms for people with mobility issues and no fire sprinkler system.
