Island Recycle and the Book Bus

I joined the Whidbey Island Sketchers at Island Recycle in Freeland Wednesday. So much great junk to draw there, but this dilapidated bus called my name. It's now full of books. It made me think of hippies, Timothy Leary, Ken Kesey and who in the past owned this gem. Was it a mobile library at one time? What's it's history? Island Recycle begs a return.
