been on both sides. Former sheriff

MAR 2 Healing Our

Japanese Garden

From 1985-88 the Evergreen

Garden Club built the library’s Japanese Garden. For

more than 30 years the club’s volunteers have raised

funds and generously donated their own time,

money and materials to maintain the garden. On the

morning of January 28, we found the garden vandal-

ized. Trees were destroyed, boulders unseated from

the retaining wall, a stone bench and flagstones

cracked, plants trampled. The library set up a fund-

raiser, and the club went into action. Soon there

were enough funds to repair, and even improve the

Japanese Garden, so the club decided to expand the

garden. Through generous volunteer efforts and do-

nations, misfortune was transformed into opportu-

nity. What was a tragedy has become an inspiration.

Donations keep coming, and can be made at the li-

brary, or online at gofundme.com/JapaneseGarden .

There is a Japanese word, Kintsugi, which speaks to

the beauty of repairing what is broken. Thank you to

all who assist with this beautiful act of Kintsugi.

“One sure window into

a person's soul is his

reading list.
