SEQUIM – This place is minuscule compared with some other Sequim structures – which is part of the reason why its Friends are raring to expand it.
You could fit 23 Sequim Branch libraries inside Costco Wholesale. Two would almost squeeze inside Petco, and three would go inside the newest big box, Office Depot.
Yet the library at 630 N. Sequim Ave., promises plenty on its small footprint: some 58,000 books, tapes, CDs and DVDs – and a new librarian offering new services.
“I want to get people used to the fact that there’s a reference librarian here,” said Lauren Corder, who joined the branch’s permanent staff a month ago.
“I can help them find where things are in town and where things are on the Internet,” she said, adding that the variety of reference questions is wide:
She recently helped one patron find an online manual for a wristwatch, and answered another’s question along the lines of “What was that book with the woman . . . who was a maid . . . who solved murder mysteries?”
