Weller Public Library Update The library is getting closer to completion. A lot of work has been done over the last couple of months to get the back room ready for the handicap lift. Volunteers painted the ceiling and the walls, the deck has been raised, white bricks have been painted to match red bricks and new railings are being installed. Thanks to volunteers, Louie & Marie Gagnon, Allen & Karen Huwe, Terry Lawhead and Sherrie Erikson. The electrical inspection passed on February 28th and now the Weller Library lift will be put on the work list by the company that will do the installation. The lift is currently in Spokane. National Library Week will be April 3-9. Friends of the Library members will be arranging some activities during that week. More information to come next month.
