Birch Bay library proponents, WCLS seek support in Olympia
From l.; Doralee Booth, Birch Bay Chamber of Commerce county liaison; Dianne Marrs-Smith, Friends of Birch Bay Library president; Ted Morris, Blaine-Birch Bay Park and Recreation District 2; and Christine Perkins, Whatcom County Library System executive director in Washington state senate chambers on February 23. Perkins and the group of Birch Bay library supporters visited Olympia to garner support and move the library project ahead. In January, the Washington state Department of Commerce rejected a proposal to use an existing state grant for a downscaled library project.“The conversations were fairly brief so we tried to pack a lot in short meetings,” Perkins said. “We are grateful for the support of our local legislators.”
