Forks has a new little free library on Spartan Avenue, in front of the Congregational Church at 280 Spartan Ave. The Forks Forum reported on October 1, 2026, that the box is stocked and open for anyone to take a book or leave one. Children's titles are a focus, and Cathy Johnson added homemade bookmarks.
The paper thanked Warren Johnson, John Vigil, Glenn Lonelle, Rhonda Cole, and Carin Hinchen Hirsch for building the addition. It is a small sidewalk library, the kind a neighbor can use without a card or a due date.
