Thank you, League of Women Voters of Bellingham/Whatcom County, for supporting the library levy measure. “The LWVBWC advocates for informed citizen participation in government.

Linda Quinby Lambert writes: “From Blaine to Everson, Deming to Point Roberts, every Whatcom County library branch is a community hub. This levy isn’t about extras — it’s about maintaining its reach for everyone. Please vote yes on Library Levy Proposition 2025-02.” Thank you, Linda, and other supporters for your powerful advocacy of county libraries.
