Whenever employees of the Washington State Department of Transportation find themselves in a rut, it is encouraged that they find a brief divergence so they can return to the job renewed and ready to work. Fortunately for them, just across the street is the Maple Park Avenue little library. Standing almost as stately as the Capitol Building itself, its proud door opens to reveal a small treasure trove of a variety of entertainments perfect for the productivity of our state work force.

Book examples:

  • The Laughing Sutra by Mark Salzman
  • Dog Whisperer: Storm Warning by Nicholas Edwards
  • Complete Poetry and Selected Prose of Keats by John Keats
