In a testament to the enduring legacy of Andrew Carnegie’s vision of ‘Palaces for the People’, our area proudly boasts not one, but two exceptional public library systems: the Bellingham Public Library and the Whatcom County Library System (WCLS). On Wednesday, May 22, Library Directors Rebecca Judd and Christine Perkins are set to unveil the remarkable services, programs, and collections that define today’s modern libraries, showcasing how these invaluable institutions continue to enrich the lives of residents.
At the heart of the discussion will be an exploration of the diverse ways in which libraries add value to our community. From groundbreaking building projects poised to shape our local landscape to innovative strategies aimed at meeting the evolving needs of residents, Judd and Perkins will shed light on the dynamic role of libraries in our ever-changing society.
In addition to celebrating the triumphs of modern libraries, the event will also address the challenges facing these democratic institutions. By examining the pressures confronting libraries today, attendees will gain valuable insights into how they can advocate for and support these vital community resources.
Join us for an inspiring discussion guaranteed to reignite your appreciation for libraries and equip you with the tools to become a savvy library user.
