The Colin Williams Lending Library

Is this neighborhood gem still open? Would be a shame if not, especially given all the construction in the International District.

5 stars. Would definitely visit again, but for some reason I’m locked out of the building now. Not sure how I’m going to return the 50 Shades of Grey series, maybe I’ll just leave them at the doorstep.

If you’re looking for a cool place to hang out — take 10 steps south!

I was shocked into silence by word of the break in at the library. The shining star and bastion of our community stood fractured through the long, bleak Winter months; beyond repair and bereft of hope.
But as they say, time heals all wounds. And as the days begin to get longer and my therapy progresses, I am proud to say that the library springs anew at a new location with remodeled lobby and furniture as well as a new vanity display for seasonal exhibits (currently the Cult of Lego).
I am not sure the library will ever fully recover and reach it’s prior glory. Without the dated furniture and sanitary hand wipes, it’s a mere shell of it’s former self. But both it and I stand proudly and defiantly in the face of this adversity. The library lives on.
And if I ever find the karazy mother f*(!&%@s responsible for this heresy, they will feel the full measure of my wrath. I will not hesitate to file a formal and strenuous objection with the authorities, and if it comes to it, I will launch a full scale leaflet campaign. These are not idle threats. I am a man of my word.
