Fairhaven Library Reopens

<< Back to archives | Tuesday, January 12, 2010

After about 8 months closure for repairs, our 106 year old library is again open.  Donated in 1904 by Andrew Carnegie, our library has served continuously as a full service library for the six neighborhoods on the south side of Bellingham.  Hours have been reduced from last year because of low tax revenues.  It is open from 2 to 6 pm, Tuesdays through Saturdays.  Here is a view of the main reading room.  Note the cozy fireplace and chairs.  The Friends of the Fairhaven Library has raised funds with southsiders since 1992 to enhance the library furnishings.  The Friends also worked to get the fireplace turned on after it had been off for decades.
