WCLS closes buildings to the public November 23

Whatcom County Library System (WCLS) closed its buildings to the public on November 23, exactly three weeks after opening for in-person services since March.

Curbside pickup, drive-up WiFi and book drop offs will continue at the 10 library branches in the county, including the Blaine library at 610 3rd Street, according to a November 23 press release. 

The decision to halt modified in-person services came after the Whatcom County Health Department advised WCLS closing the buildings would help slow the spread of Covid-19, the release states. 

Library items can be reserved at wcls.org and picked up at the two Library Express locations, at 5205 Northwest Drive in Ferndale and in Point Roberts. 

Blaine Library curbside pickup is open 10 a.m.-8 p.m. on Monday-Thursday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. on Friday and 10 a.m.-5 p.m. on Saturday. For more information, visit wcls.org/info or call the Blaine library at 360/305-3637.
