WCLS online database offers community resources

Posted

Whatcom County Library System (WCLS) is offering community resources on its website for everything from food to financial assistance.

The WCLS website categorizes the resources by education, emergency and disaster, employment, financial and tax, food, health and Covid-19, housing, legal and weather. WCLS trustee Lori Jump pitched the page, updated regularly, after the November 2021 floods.

The 117 resources on the website are dated when they were last modified. Information includes flooding resources, wildfire smoke monitoring, legal resources and a link to get free Naloxone, a drug to help opioid overdoses.

“Neighbors count on the library system to be a trusted reference source,” WCLS deputy director Michael Cox said in a statement. “The Community Resources page is an example of that work in action. This online database can serve as a critical resource for community members during times when quick answers are needed the most.”
