Happy 100: The Sultan Library is almost as old as the city, incorporated in 1905. The library, established in 1910, is turning 100 this year, so birthday celebrations are in the works. Stop in for cake and punch between 1 and 5 p.m. April 1.
The librarians are compiling a memory book and they need your help.
Add your memories of the library to the photos already in the book, draw a picture of your favorite storybook character or write a poem.
Bring in your own old photos too, and they will be copied to be placed in the memory book.
The library is also looking for the oldest book in the community. Bring it to the library before March 25, and you may win a bookbag full of prizes and lifetime membership in the Friends of the Sultan Library.
The library is at 319 Main St., Ste. 100. Call 360-793-1695 or go online to www.sno-isle.org for more information.
