Barkley Branch Library

Bellingham Public Library opened its first new branch in 84 years with a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at the Barkley Branch on Saturday, September 13 .

The 1,400 square foot branch has been generously donated by the Barkley Company, who constructed and outfitted the space as a library and have given it to the Library rent-free for 42 months. The Barkley Branch will have 4 public Internet workstations in addition to WiFi access, a browsing collection of library materials, and holds pickup and drop off capabilities. The library will hold children's story times on Saturdays beginning in October.

The new Barkley Branch will be open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Michael,

I sometimes frequent the main branch. I used to be there all the time for research prior to the computer age.

Very nice. We don't see many new libraries any more. I have often wondered what the future looks like for libraries and the internet grows.
