Coos Bay Library offers community fridge BY BREE LAUGHLIN The World
Patrons who enter the doors of the Coos Bay Public Library aren’t just greeted with book displays and the smiling faces of local librarians. They also see something a bit more unexpected– a large fridge full of fresh fruits and vegetables. The Coos Bay Library’s Community Fridge is promoting healthy eating by offering free produce to anyone who wants it. The
goal of the program is to make healthy produce more accessible to members of the Coos Bay community. The community fridge was started by Paul Addis, a reference librarian at Coos Bay Public Library. Addis has been involved with several nutrition-related programs at the library, including Community Cooking with the Co-op. “Between the popularity of those programs – and seeing the long lines at fast food places around town – I knew
there was a need,” Addis said. After hearing that Coos County also has high cancer-rates, Addis said wanted to do something more. Now, Coos Bay Public Library patrons can obtain fresh produce six days a week during the library’s open hours. Addis and his colleagues at the library partnered with South Coast Food Share and Community Fridge continued on page 11
AKI Gallery features new exhibits BY BREE LAUGHLIN The World
The owner of a new art gallery in North Bend said he’s finding his footing thanks to a supportive community and a group of talented artists eager to show their work. “The art community in our area has just been so welcoming,” said John Hoobler, the owner the AKI Art Gallery and Studio. Hoobler reported that the AKI Gallery is booked into summer of 2024 and will be showcasing work from both local artists and artists visiting from out-of-state. Hoobler said he is enjoying exposing the local community to different kinds of art not typically found in a coastal setting. “I want people to see there's more to the galleries up and down the coast than just showing the ocean,” Hoobler said. “I didn't want the gallery here at AKI to be caught up in a touristy theme.” There’s nothing wrong with attracting tourists, he said, but artists should be able to showcase their original work no matter what the theme. “I really want all kinds of artists to have a AKI Gallery continued on page 4
Civil War takes center stage
C�V�L W�R A full house of fans filled the Marshfield High School main gym when two of the top Class 4A volleyball teams in Oregon faced off in a Civil War clash between Marshfield and North Bend. The Pirates, ranked No. 1 in the state, won the march over the Bulldogs, ranked No. 3. But before the final result was known, both teams had reason to celebrate and both student sections stood and cheered until the final moment. Photos by David Rupkalvis/For The World
