Happy Fourth of July!

Today, we celebrate community, connection, and the freedoms that allow us to learn, grow, and support one another.

As you enjoy time with family and friends, we wish you a safe, happy, and relaxing Independence Day. Thank you for being part of a community that believes everyone deserves the opportunity to build skills, confidence, and a brighter future through literacy.

Happy Independence Day from all of us at Whatcom Literacy Council! ❤️🤍💙

Today we recognize Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and celebrates freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of equality.

At Whatcom Literacy Council, we believe education and literacy help create opportunities, strengthen communities, and empower individuals to build brighter futures.

THANK YOU to everyone who came to the 2026 TRIVIA BEE at Aslan Depot last week!

It was a fun event, with 20 teams competing in a competition that included three general rounds, one book round, and a round with Whatcom County trivia.

Congratulations to the team Sweet Home Alabama Hill, made up of Thomas Stanley, Rob Coiner, and Chris Thralls - they will have their team name inscribed on the TOTTEN TROPHY and get to keep it until next year.

A huge thanks also to the staff at Aslan Depot for making it a "Pint Night", where $1 of every pint sold went to the Whatcom Literacy Council.

If you were there and took photos please send them in. We would love to feature them!
