Washington County Library

Especially for Elizabeth, Dianna, Chuck, and the entire OBB staff!

Below is the newest branch in our county library system:
the Washington Branch. 
 It's about two miles from my home, and I've applied to be a volunteer there.
 
 



The east wall is a wall of windows, with an impressive view. Unfortunately, these pics were taken on a hazy day. 
Believe me, the landscape is NOT flat! There are mountains, mesas, bluffs, cliffs, and red hills all around!!!
(I don't know why our camera doesn't pick up the redness of the dirt around here.
You guys are gonna think I'm LYING to you!)












Did you spot Wonder Woman and
Snoopy vs. the Red Baron on the ceiling of the Children's Dept.?
