Ways to Give
At FoSWL, we are dedicated advocates for our library, working to raise awareness and provide essential support through volunteer efforts and fundraising. Your involvement—whether through time, donations, or community partnerships—helps ensure the library continues to be a vibrant, inclusive space for all.

In-Library Book Sale
Discover great reads and support your library at the same time! Visit the Book Sale Cart inside the library, where books are priced using a simple colored dot system, starting at just $1. Some books are as low as 25 cents, with pricing listed on each item. Simply drop your payment into the Honor Box at the cart or pay via PayPal. Every dollar raised helps the South Whatcom Library.
