Our hearts are with everyone across North Central Washington affected by the wildfires burning in our region right now. Those who have evacuated, those watching and waiting, the firefighters and first responders working around the clock, and everyone breathing this smoke and holding their breath along with it.

Wildfire season is something we face together in NCW, and your library is here to help. We've gathered wildfire preparedness and recovery resources on our blog, including information on evacuation levels, air quality, insurance documentation, and where to find trusted updates:

For real-time fire information in our region, we also recommend following Wildfire NCW / Fuego NCW

And remember, our library buildings are open to you. If you need a cool, smoke-free place to charge your phone, use the Wi-Fi, print documents, or simply take a breath, please come in. We're glad to see you, always, but especially now.

Take care of yourselves and each other. 💙
