Summer Reading 2024

Whatcom County Library System’s annual Summer Reading program for kids, teens and adults is underway. We are partnering with Whatcom County Library Foundation and Whatcom Million Trees Project to achieve a community goal to plant 250 trees in Whatcom County. To reach the goal, readers will choose from a range of fun activities. Find all the details on the Summer Reading card, available at WCLS branches and bookmobile stops, or download a card here.

We did it! Thanks to you, we achieved our Summer Reading 2023 goal to plant 500 trees in Whatcom County with our partner Whatcom Million Trees Project.

We celebrated and kicked off the planting last October at the Deming Library. Most of the Summer Reading trees have been planted at the Whatcom Humane Society Wildlife Rehab Center. The remainder will be planted at Jensen Family Farm Park and Nugents Corner River Access Park starting spring 2025.
