This January the North Bend Public Library rolled out Tales of the South Coast, a series of notebooks for library patrons to collaboratively fill in. The notebooks have subject areas, including memories and anecdotes, household tips, and short stories, as well as notebooks for crowdsourcing stories, such as a romance or a gothic horror. The notebooks can be checked out for one week at a time, and patrons are asked to limit their entries to three to five pages. In addition to writing, pictures, drawings and collages are also welcome. There will be separate journals for children and adults, which may be checked out for people write in or to read. Once a journal is filled, it will be added to the regular collection. The journals can be checked out for one week.
