This little library appears to act as the de facto community center for the west Olympia neighborhood, sitting as it does at the corner of Bowman Ave. at Division St. 

Various parties post notice of their tutoring, events and more, depending on the season.  At the time of this writing, December 2020, it's one of only two li'l libraries in 98502!
