We are excited to see that Carolyn King, our FOSPL President, was featured in The Spotlight’s opinion pages in Friday's issue. Carolyn’s letter to the Editor encourages a YES vote on Measure 5-308, the five-year levy to help maintain services at our beloved Library. Carolyn wrote it well: “This library is indispensable to Scappoose. It provides so much for so many.”

Ballots will be mailed to us soon; return yours by 8 p.m. on May 19!
