There's a dining area with several window-side tables, and when you're done eating, there's a huge selection of used books to browse, including several rare and out-of-print titles. I've been to a handful of other places in Gold Beach for meals, and this is the friendliest I've visited so far. Some establishments in town definitely have a "locals only" vibe, but Gold Beach Books seems much more welcoming to out-of-towners.

They are even told that a 14 year old can substitute for a guardian as their younger sibling searches for books. I think the answer is to elect a new board that "hears" the concerns of the people.

When I moved here from the big city, I expected to not find anything I wanted to read here. Of course, I was wrong. I'm always bringing home a new book to try. I also spend many a lunch hour using their free wifi. They have computers for those who need them, too. There are plenty of books on local history, which has been interesting to a newcomer like me. There are books on local plants and animals, which proves helpful while hiking. While the new releases I want to read aren't always in the collections, I can often find something that catches my fancy. And the cookbook selection is pretty fun. Finally, I come here to check out the bulletin board for interesting events in town, including park ranger-led hikes in neighboring state and national parks. This is a small but mighty library.

Ah.. The library. My world came alive with the aid of the books located in those dusty old shelves…read more I spent many a rainy afternoon as a kid lost in those stacks, forgetting myself in this small town oasis. As I grew up, I saw with sadness the hours they were open dwindle more and more. If I were to move back to CC (hell would have to freeze over first) I would volunteer as much time as I could to help this place stay alive. I remember story time for kids, looking up local events, learning to use the card catalog and the old microfiche machines... Cuddling up with a paperback in those old overstuffed chairs... hiding from adults as I read the more mature books that I was much too young for... I hope some little Del Norters are enjoying the library as much as I used to when I was there.

Through the years, coastal towns have gone to great lengths to attract visitors. There are…read morefestivals, of course, but I'm more fascinated by the wacky ways that some places have tried to generate buzz. Like ghost stories and bizarre events like the Redhead Roundup they used to have in Lincoln City. But as a visitor to your city, I'm really interested in three things: -- Easy (free) parking -- Collection of shops and restaurants within walking distance -- That certain something that is hard to quantify and highly subjective - charm Bandon-by-the-Sea has all this and more. But rather than mention the city in general, I need to call attention to the Port of Bandon and River Walk. Along the Coquille River in Old Town they've built and beautifully maintained a number of visitor friendly attractions. A pier for fishing and crabbing (they provide free life vests for kids), an outdoor amphitheater and enclosed picnic shelter. Even during the summer months, coastal towns can be windy and chilly, so having a glass structure on the pier so you can enjoy the view without the cold is very welcoming. The shelter has one large community table and chairs all uniquely carved out of wood. They even have an outlet for those wanting to hop on their laptop or charge their phone. Bandon Fish Market is close by and very crowded, so a lot of people were grabbing food to go and eating it here. The River Walk is filled with public art and is located right in the heart of Old Town. I think my son pet over 100 dogs that afternoon. So kudos to Bandon for making it easy and fun to visit your city.

Including boat trailer and RV parking. 2) Clean, free, centrally located public bathrooms. 3) A freaking water fountain/ water bottle filler. Praise be. And thank you. 4) A WORKING bike repair center complete with tools and a pump!!!! This saved my bacon during our recent visit- brought the bikes, forgot the pump. OOPS. (and the local bike repair place is closed this week- seriously made all the difference here.) 5) Public access fishing and crabbing Pier complete w/ local art and a boardwalk. Out of the ballpark, Bandon.
