📚 Libraries are an important resource in our community, and we want to make sure people have factual information about the upcoming Timberland Regional Library levy vote.

OlyMAP is not endorsing or opposing the levy, but we know how important libraries can be for people across Thurston County. Libraries provide free access to computers, Wi-Fi, printing, books and digital resources, job-search tools, educational programs, meeting spaces, and other services used by people of all ages and walks of life. Timberland Regional Library serves five counties through 29 libraries.

On November 3, 2026, voters across the Timberland Regional Library district will decide on a levy lid lift. The proposed rate is $0.35 per $1,000 of assessed property value, compared with the current rate of about $0.22 per $1,000. TRL states that levy funding makes up the large majority of its operating budget.

TRL says that if the measure is approved, the additional funding would support library hours, staffing, collections, computer and Wi-Fi access, programs, and facilities. If it is not approved, TRL says it expects reductions in staffed hours, mobile library services, and physical and digital collections.

If you want to learn more before voting, take some time to read the information for yourself:

Whatever your position, being informed about what is on the ballot matters.

🎪 CALLING ALL CREEPY CARNIVAL CHARACTERS! 🎃

OlyMAP’s first Haunted House Fundraiser, CarnEvil, is coming October 23, 24 & 30 and we REALLY need actors to help bring it to life!

No acting experience needed! Seriously. If you’re willing to dress up, get a little weird, stay in character and have fun scaring people, we want you!

Here are some of the characters we thought of:

🎟️ Ticket Taker: Be one of the first creepy faces our guests meet. Welcome them to CarnEvil, give them a few warnings and make them question whether they really want to go inside.

🔮 Fortune Teller: Invite guests closer, read their very questionable “fortune,” warn them about what might be waiting ahead and send them deeper into CarnEvil.

🤡 Clowns: We need several! Hide, stare, laugh, follow guests, pop out unexpectedly or just stand somewhere being REALLY creepy.

🖤 Mime: Don't want to talk? PERFECT. Follow guests, copy their movements, stare at them or stay completely still until they get a little too close.

🪆 Human Doll: Sit or stand completely still and let people think you’re just another decoration... until you move.

🍿 Concession Worker: Welcome guests to our very questionable CarnEvil concession stand. Offer up some gross “treats” and convince people to touch things they probably shouldn't.

📣 Carnival Barker: “STEP RIGHT UP!” Be loud, draw people in, introduce attractions and help move guests through CarnEvil.

🏚️ Groundskeeper: You know something happened here. Lurk around, warn people to leave and make them wonder what exactly happened at CarnEvil.

We can help with costumes, makeup, character ideas and figuring out what you’ll actually do. You do not need to show up knowing how to be a haunted house actor!

👻 We REALLY need actor volunteers to make our first CarnEvil a hit!

Even if acting isn't your thing, you can help us BIG TIME by sharing this post with everyone and anyone you know who might be interested! Send it to that friend who loves Halloween, the theater kid, the person who owns way too many costumes, or anyone who would have way too much fun scaring strangers. 😂

📅 October 23, 24 & 30

Interested in joining CarnEvil?

Email [email protected] and let us know which character you’d like to play!

🎪 Come join CarnEvil. We promise being weird is encouraged.
