The Myrtle Point Library  Building Committee plans a  new fundraiser to raise  money for expansion.  Member Kathy Phillips is  cruising the backroads of  Coos County with her husband  David, in search of old  barns to photograph for a  calendar that will be sold by  the committee.  She admits this has been  more difficult than she had  expected.

“While there are  many old barns around,  some are too close to the  road for a good shot, some  are too far away, some have  too much clutter around  them to be photogenic, some  are in too much disrepair,  some would be better with a  cow or dog in the foreground,  the lighting is not  good on that one ..”  The plans are to complete  the calendar, with help from  Myrtle Point Printing, and  have it for sale by Fair time.  Phillips is seeking help from  the public. If you know of a  photogenic old barn in your  area, you may contact her at  572-2198. She would like to  know some history of the  barn if possible.


This barn is located at Picture Valley Road, between Myrtle Point and
Coquille
