| The North Mason library began in 1950 in Dorothy
Newkirk Harper's Belfair Drug store. The drug store was sold in 1958 and when
the new owner relocated the store in 1966, the library moved to leased space in
the back of a TV shop. In July 1976, it was moved to slightly larger leased
space until September 1979.
A new library was opened in November 1979. The Friends of the North Mason
Library purchased the land for the library building and deeded the property to
the district. TRL purchased additional land at the current site on which a new
14,400 square foot library was built.
The old North Mason building was recycled and moved by barge where it reopened
as the Hoodsport library in March 1997. The new North Mason building was opened
in March 1998. Since Belfair is not incorporated, there is no contractual
arrangement.

magazines for readers and library users of all ages.
