Thanks to a local student, the SJI Library introduces a new Book Nook in the children’s area

The public is invited to see the San Juan Island Library’s new Book Nook in the Children’s Area. The Book Nook is the creation of Brian Fleming, a local resident and sophomore at Spring Street International School.

Fleming built the Book Nook as part of his Eagle Scout project with Boy Scout Troop 4090. He began work on the Book Nook this past summer after selecting a project that would benefit the Library and the community.

“We are thrilled to have received such a wonderful and imaginative gift,” said Melina Lagios, Youth Services Manager at the Library. “Brian was a delight to work with and he finished the project much sooner than I anticipated. His hard work and commitment are commendable.” 

With help from his dad, other scout troop members, and one of his scout masters, Fleming delivered the Book Nook to the Library on a Tuesday evening. Within moments of its delivery, the Book Nook was an instant hit with young patrons.

The San Juan Island Library is located at 1010 Guard Street in Friday Harbor. Hours of operation are: Monday, Wednesday and Friday: 10-6 PM; Tuesday and Thursday: 10-8 PM; Saturday: 10-5 PM; and Sunday: 1-5 PM.
