OLYMPIC NATIONAL FOREST — The Klahowya Campground near the south shore of the Sol Duc River is scheduled to close for work projects on Sept. 5 and be reopened in May.
Work already has begun to upgrade the campground. The Olympic National Forest has scheduled a series of projects, including drilling a new well to provide potable water to the campground, replacing the double vault toilet, replacing the roof on the flush restrooms and installing 3,560 feet of waterline.

New library vehicle
The North Olympic Library System [NOLS] announced the addition of a new vehicle to its “NOLS-on-the-Move” fleet.
The 2017 Toyota Prius was funded in part by an $18,000 donation from the Seattle Foundations’s Benjamin N. Phillips Memorial Fund, which was received in September 2016.
The fuel-efficient wagon, dubbed “Westy” by library staff, will do much to further NOLS’s ability to deliver when-and-where-it-is-needed library service to remote West End communities, NOLS said in a news release.
School visits, deliveries to homebound library patrons and community event attendance are on tap for Westy.
“Having a vehicle available to the Forks and Clallam Bay branch libraries presents exciting opportunities to boldly deliver services beyond the four walls of the libraries,” said West End Library manager Theresa Tetreau.
For more information, call the Forks Library at 360-374-6402 or Clallam Bay Library at 360-963-2414, visit www.nols.org or email discover@nols.org.
