Jason Tenuta, 17, usually has his hands full helping to run Island Coffee House in Langley. Recently, the South Whidbey High School senior’s responsibilities expanded.
Island Coffee House bought the Golden Otter Used Bookstore. The bookstore will now be operated by South Whidbey youth, just like the coffee shop.
“It’s really good hands-on experience. We look at bookkeeping, see where the money goes,” Tenuta said.
The team of 12 to 18-year-old volunteers have spent countless hours in recent weeks building bookshelves, cataloguing books and thinking up concepts to improve business at the bookstore.
“We went through 600 books,” Tenuta said."
