BRANCH FOR THE BIRDS
The latest library construction isn't for people, but for birds. Forrest Barton, a patron of the Eden Library, used his woodworking skills to design a beautiful birdhouse which now resides near the library's front walkway. Mr. Barton found the design in a book he checked out from the library, Designer Birdhouses. Thank you Mr. Barton!
