Surf Pines New Book Lending Box at Gate House.

Surf Pines now has its own Lending Book Box located at the porch of our Gate House. Ravi a super handyman built the Book Lending Box at Sunset Beach at the parking area across from the bakery. He also has been a maintenance person for a couple of our elderly sunset beach residents.

He also built a bench for Surf Pines residents Art and Kay Limbird and mentioned he would be willing to build one for Surf Pines at no charge.

Art and Kay brought this to the Board who approved the acquisition of our own box. It was placed on the wall next to the Gate House door. It is a beautiful addition to our community.

The bookbox concept:  you put books into a bookbox that you want to give away. People look at them and if they see a book they want to read, they are free to take it. It is open to anyone who has books to give away, and anyone who wants a good book to read. You can find bookboxes in Gearhart and Astoria. Even McMinnimen’s has one. And now there is a fellow who has put one in the little park in Sunset Beach. It was suggested he put one in Surf Pines too.

This box is made of wood and is leakproof. By the way, if you are looking for a great handy man Ravi, who lives in Sunset Beach, is great. Although he is not Licensed or bonded he is honest as they come and is very talented and reasonable. If you need stuff done around the house he is a great person to hire. If interested let us know and we can connect you up.
