Having moved from an area with a great library system I was so pleasantly surprised to see the…read morequality of the Timberland Regional Library system. With so many branches serving so many communities they really do have an exceptional collection available to the community. Staff have always been great to work with and are happy to take the time to explain how their system works. While the Shelton branch is not huge I have been able to log in to the library system, find books I want to read and put a hold on them. When they become available they are shipped to your local branch and held for about a week for you to pick them up. Book return is a breeze with a drive by drop box outside the library. A good library like this makes the community stronger.

The Hoodsport library is quite a bit smaller than other public libraries I've frequented in the…read morepast. But don't let that deter you from visiting them. There is an amazing view over the Hood Canal. A telescope is available to use. Friends of the library have a couple book shelves near the entrance doors. There you will find books for sale. $2 for hard back and $1 for paper back. This is an honor system. You will find a locked mailbox with a slot to place your money to pay for the books. I recently purchased 3 children's hardback books that I mailed to my grand girls back in Kansas. I know they will adore their gently loved books. You can sign up to receive a card that allows you to access the library during hours that is closed to the public. There is 24 hour surveillance. My husband and I both have the after hours cards and have utilized this benefit. We have sent a printing task to the library and were able to go print the task at the library. The two gentleman that works there are extremely knowledgeable and willing to help patrons. Another super appreciative benefit is to create your library portal. You can search for titles or subjects and genres and request to have them delivered from other Washington libraries to the Hoodsport one. You will receive notifications when the pickup is available. How cool is that? The friends of the library group have sales every so often where you are encouraged to come peruse through books and other media for purchase. Keep informed. There are different social groups that meet at the library, such as crafting socials. I've also seen other class offerings there such as bereavement support or suicide prevention. Lastly I wish to highlight something I feel so passionate about. In one corner of the library, on top of one smaller wooden shelf, you will find free boxes of Narcan. Narcan reverses the effects of opioids. One can never be too careful in these days and times. It's better to be prepared and have one box available and not need it, than to need it and not have it. I encourage you to consider having one box of Narcan in your first aid kits. I purchased one for our household a little over a year ago at Fred Meyer and it cost $55. Thank you state of Washington for offering this free, life saving medication.

I stopped in here on my way to attempt Flapjack Lakes this past weekend and was pleasantly…read moresurprised to not only see an open information center, but also to have one staffed by someone like Karen, who was able to load me up with numerous helpful maps for my return trips to the area. Full of guidebooks, maps, and year-long parking passes for the National Parks territories (which I purchased!), this place is a great spot to stop in, get some trail info, and head on your way. Karen was only able to tell me what conditions were like a few days ago since they' don't get constant updates from the rangers, but it was very helpful nonetheless. I missed making it to the lakes by 2 miles, but I'll definitely be back!

As a current employee and nurse at this facility, I can say with confidence that WCC is undeserving…read moreof the previous review. Nursing at WCC is a dynamic blend of emergency, outpatient, and inpatient care with a diverse population and abundant opportunities to educate patients who are openminded, eager to learn, and ready to take charge of their health as they re-enter society. Away with the stigma of corrections nursing being unsafe. There are officers present with all patient interactions for safety and security, unlike my time in the ED where I was subject and witness to multiple staff assaults. Low patient ratios, excellent teamwork, opportunities for education and upward mobility, compensation ~20% higher than hospitals in the area, comprehensive benefits (pension, and regence PPO Health insurance) Nursings best kept secret.

Its a very toxic environment and management knows all about it... yet they do nothing. Governor Jay Inslee should look into WCC and fire everyone in management. P.Paterson is a horrible supervisor. She will lie in your face. Right now she is being investigated by the ethics board. That should tell you what kind of manager she is. Please run away. Working for WCC has great benefits for retirement but that does not hold good nurses there. P.Paterson will make sure if you are a great nurse and you decided to challenge her, she will make your life a living hell. Like I keep saying, please run away. You have been warned.

The man that works there was loading the daily mail run into his very nice looking Jeep and looked like he was about to hit the trails.
