The Whitman County Rural Library System is holding a penny drive as part of National Library Week.
National Library Week is April 4-10, but the Whitman County Library will run their fundraiser through the end of the month, said public services librarian Sarah Phelan-Blamires.
National Library Week celebrates libraries across the country, and the county
uses this time to gain traction and get donations from patrons, said Sheri Miller, library associate director and youth services manager.
The library system offers multiple children’s programs, a digital library, Wi-Fi, printing, movies, newspapers and magazines.
At each of the 14 branch locations, patrons can donate spare change that goes toward youth programs like story time to-go bags and science crafts, Miller said. The funding stays within the branch that donors give to.
MY EDMONDS NEWS Posted: April 9, 2021 19
National Library Week is April 4 -10 and there are certainly reasons to celebrate it. The Edmonds and Lynnwood Libraries are now offering limited in-building services on top of the current contactless services. Recently, I stopped by to pick up a hold at the Edmonds Library and was offered contactless pick-up or the option to pick-up and checkout on my own, I chose to head in on my own. Walking into the library for the first time in over a year was exciting though a little different as not all of the stacks are available for browsing and at that time, I was the only non- employee to be found. I picked up my hold, which was flanked by the same names I usually see, and walked over to the kids section, picking up a Minecraft joke book on the way to the graphic novels. It was a big hit as it makes my younger son laugh and then rest of us groan, a true win-win for him.
