Letter: ‘Friends’ funded Bubblegum poker game
On behalf of the Bellingham Board of Library Trustees I would like to respond to a recent article in The Milford Daily News (”Library hits jackpot with poker playing kids,” June 27). We would like to correct an error that appeared in the story and express our support for the Bubblegum Poker program and the other young adult programs we are offering at the library this summer.
