We are positively humbled with gratitude, Friends.

The Library Love Gala last night was a smashing success, and while we don't yet have final numbers on how much we raised, we know it was far in excess of our wildest dreams. Our community showed up to support the Centralia Timberland Library & Chehalis Timberland Library in a big way, and while two words could never convey the depth of gratitude we feel right now... Thank you!

To our sponsors, Rooted in Lewis County & Olympia Federal Savings who funded the night for us...

THANK YOU!

To the business owners and individuals who contributed to our silent auction and desert dash items...

THANK YOU!

To our volunteers who made the night go smoothly...

THANK YOU!

To everyone who attended, bid on items and had a blast with us...

THANK YOU!

And last, but certainly not least, to our honorary Best Friends of 2026 (and they've got the trophy to prove it), who put their hearts and souls into creating a wonderful event to celebrate our libraries, Chehalis Theater: THANK YOU!!!
