Visit Trolls’ Corner Book Store in the Colfax Library to see the treasures being pulled from the library’s basement. In preparation for the ADA and safety renovation, items like TVs, flags, projectors, old reel-to-reel films, books, movies, shelving, wood scraps and more are being sold or given away. Named in memory John Tague, all sales from Troll’s Corner benefit the Friends of the Library of which John was an active and dedicated member.
