Support the Blaine Community with Your Gift to the Blaine Library Project

  • The current 5,400-square-foot library at 610 3rd Street opened more than 30 years ago in the converted Blaine Public Works garage.
  • The building infrastructure restricts growth and services, including technology expansion, community programs and meeting space and quiet areas for reading and research.
  • Each year, approximately 100,000 people visit the Blaine Library; more than 700 people sign up for a library card and 150,000 library items circulate through the branch.
  • Without updates, the library cannot meet present and projected community needs.

Your gift helps provide much-needed funding for the library services and space the community of Blaine needs.

2025 Levy Lid Lift Impact

The recent approval of the county levy lid lift will enable WCLS to maintain current open hours, services and levels of staffing at its branches, including Blaine. It will also continue supporting a robust collection of library materials, including physical and digital items, with minimal wait times and online/streaming resources; address deferred maintenance and facilities needs; and pursue opportunities for library building projects such as the Blaine Library Project.
