Dear Families,

I have some information I’d like to share with you regarding the public library system. Did you know that when you apply for your library card through the Whatcom County Library system, your card will be accepted at any public library in Whatcom County? Did you know that you can go online tohttp://www.bellinghampubliclibrary.org/and access the card catalog or activities for children and adults, not to mention lots of other community information? Did you know that when your children get enthused about a subject or author, they can go online, using their library card and reserve a copy of their favorite book? The library that you choose to pick your books up at will even email you to let you know the books are available for pick up. This is just a sampling of information I’d like you to have. Please check out the library that is closest to your home soon. This would be great thing to do over Spring Break!
