Wow, so nice. I love to visit libraries, especially as I visit new towns. This one is old and yet…read morelooking so clean, updated, and welcoming. Great use of space with so many things to look at and yet not cluttered. Good variety of materials upstairs and down. The homemade quilts and even the wall calendar just add all that much more to the vibe here. The parking lot is small but plenty. And recently resurfaces with clear white lines so it is easy to park just right. The kids are a lot of the ground floor space. Fills with so many options which is helpful as kids can go through books quickly.

There is a rope swing attached to the south tower. Not sure how safe it is.

Nobody ever answers the phone. Ever. In the three years…read morethat I've lived here, I've easily called this location over 50 times. I've been answered *2* . This is not a heavy traffic location. If the delivery person decides to leave me a slip, instead of walking to my door, and actually obtaining the signature.....I have no way to find it where it's at, since 3 days later... no package, and nobody ever answers the phone. Who do I talk to? What do I do?

Part of the exhibit…read more The Castle Rock Exhibit Hall, dedicated on the 10th anniversary of the eruption of Mt. St.Helens, is one of North Cowlitz County's featured attractions for visitors. Operated by the nonprofit Castle Rock Exhibit Hall Society, the facility has three galleries of exhibits, displays and photographs portraying the area's history and culture. Those exhibits include Cowlitz Indian artifacts, logging carvings, sawmilling, logging displays, a Smithsonian Institution exhibit depicting the Mt. St. Helens blast zone, pre-eruption and post eruption pictures of the mountain and Spirit Lake, and other exhibits. The Exhibit Hall also includes a demonstration area that hosts annual quilt shows, holiday wreathmaking and other events, and a small store featuring books by several local residents among its merchandise. In the front of the building is a Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce Visitors Center that provides tourists brochures, maps and information about Mt. St. Helens and other Washington and Oregon tourist attractions. A historic city jail built in 1907 is located on city property behind the Exhibit Hall. Murals featuring Mt. St. Helens and Spirit Lake, a logging train and a Sternwheeler water vessel grace exterior walls of three buildings near the Exhibit Hall. Visitors may tour the historic city jail, which has been unused since the mid 1940's.

He also was showing off and designed the Golden Gate Bridge coz he was sexy innovative like that. It opened in 1930 when you can buy a lot of stuff with a dime. If you're in the area go over it a few times and post your selfies. Its fun to go state to state a bunch of times in 5 mins. Then you can claim you're an avid bona fide traveler. Haha Just have camera ready before getting on it so you don't cause accidents and get a lot of people pissed off. Ciao babes!
