Whatcom READS events are continuing as planned.
Update: Thursday, March 5, 2020
Whatcom READS programming is continuing as planned. We are closely monitoring and following updates and recommendations regarding coronavirus (COVID-19) from the Whatcom County Health Department. At this time, public health officials are not recommending closures or event cancellations.
Whatcom READS is committed to the health and safety of everyone who attends our events. You can assist in preventing the spread of coronavirus and other contagions by thoroughly and carefully washing your hands regularly; staying home if you or a family member are sick; coughing and sneezing into a bent elbow or tissue, then throwing away the tissue; and monitoring health agency websites for advice about keeping yourself and loved ones safe in case of an outbreak. Author Eowyn Ivey’s Mount Baker Theatre presentation will be filmed and broadcast at a later date on BTV Bellingham and YouTube, so if you are unable to attend you will still be able to watch her presentation.
If authorities issue advice to stay home or avoid non-essential activities, and/or suggest that organizations cancel events, we will prioritize the health and safety of the author, our audiences and our employees. We will immediately post alerts here and on social media should a cancellation arise.
