New Washougal library tied to passage of FVRLibraries levy lid

The future of Fort Vancouver Regional Libraries’ Washougal library project could be in doubt if voters reject FVRLibraries’ levy lid lift request during the Aug. 5 election.

“FVRLibraries is committed to the vision of a new Washougal Community Library and grateful for the community support behind it,” FVRLibraries Executive Director Jennifer Giltrop said. “At this time, we cannot express confidence in the project’s completion without internal funding. While external fundraising efforts are ongoing, they depend entirely on sources outside the district’s control.”
