From the desk of Carolyn Petersen, Assistant Program Manager, Library Development.

Recently I had occasion to visit the newly remodeled downtown branch of Yakima Valley libraries.  To quote Fats Waller “The joint is jumpin’”.  Folks were streaming in and out of their newly repainted, updated and light filled central library on a Thursday noon hour, not necessarily a prime patron time.

Attached is a view of their renovated Young Adult area.  If you are in the area, stop by.  You will be impressed by the progress the Yakima Valley library staff have made in updating this essential resource
