WHEN MEMBERS of the executive board of Local 1581 (Whatcom County Library System) read a report that an area food bank was facing a shortfall, they decided to do something about it.
They encouraged board members to bring contributions to the next board meeting. These were followed with more contributions at the general membership meeting the following week.
“With food prices rising, more people need help and the food bank needs more contributions,” says Lisa Gresham, local vice president. “We are glad we could do our part in helping our community in this way.”
Local 1581 executive board members (pictured) represent all facets of library work. Among them are assistant managers, branch managers, distribution/delivery drivers, children’s specialists and graphic designers.
