Thank you for helping WCLS celebrate National Library Week! Your comments and praise say it so well:

“Whatcom County Library System is the absolute best thing that I pay for via my property taxes! Staff is always great and helpful.”

“Library research helped save my son’s life from a hard-to-diagnose, hard-to-treat condition - and spilled over to better health for his grandfather.”

“I recently moved into the community. The library was one of my family’s first stops. You were our access into the community… The Blaine Library made us feel like we were home.”

“I love my library! As homeschoolers we are here at least 2 to 3 times a week. We can find books, DVDs, and music for any subject and order them from all over the system and country. Where else can you get that kind of personal service?”
