New Sammamish Library receives shipment of new media

The truck arrived Dec. 17 with a load of 15,000 new books, DVDs and CDs to add to the Sammamish Library collection at its new location next to City Hall.

Library employees had waited throughout the morning to start stocking the new materials in their respective sections.
The new, larger facility opens Jan. 9 and will house a collection of approximately 106,600 books, periodicals and such, according to employees.
The new facility offers larger children’s and teen sections, more meeting and study space, as well as sweeping westward views to Seattle.
While the old library is closed, residents can still visit to pick up material placed on hold and to return books.  See Page 8 for a listing of hours next week.
