If you are bored and looking to pass the time during COVID 19, take a walk down Orchard Ln in our Shorecrest neighborhood and find a good book! Local Shorecrest neighbor, John Christensen has used his "stay at home time" during the Coronavirus pandemic to not only create a neighborhood library, but to also create a beautiful dry creek surrounding it. His plan is to add a bench to welcome neighbors to stop by, relax, and find a good book. It's a great way to trade books with the neighborhood! Head toward Jacoby boat launch, turn left and you'll see it on the right just a couple houses down.Stop by, drop off a book and find a new one. Thanks, John, for being such a great neighbor!!
