Community rallies around library with art after vandalism incident

“So many people stopped by with their sadness about the windows and asked what they could do,” Siuslaw Library Director Meg Spencer said. “When something like the breakage happens, it can be easy to forget how much the library is loved, and how much our patrons do really care about the library. It was great for people to get a chance to express that.”
