Temporary Digital Outage – Some Databases Currently Unavailable Remotely

Services from the following vendors are currently available only at our Bellingham Public Library branches (not remotely):
Candid
Data Axle
EBSCO
Gale
Newsbank
ProQuest
Value Line

Also, services from Kanopy and Mango should work remotely for patrons who have used them in the past, but patrons who haven’t used them before may not be able to start, even at BPL branches.

This situation is temporary. Thank you for your patience.
