La Center — The La Center Community Library celebrated two special events on June 25 following a summer reading event on the lawn: the 10th anniversary of the library’s official opening, and the local winners of the districtwide summer reading bookmark contest.
Special guest of honor for the celebration was Margaret Colf Hepola, the driving force behind the 2003-2004 relocation and conversion of an old house — once the community’s hospital — into La Center’s own public library.
Summer reading continues at all Fort Vancouver Regional Library District locations through August.
