I moved to Bellingham from Tampa, FL about two month ago, and I am still being told that I need new…read moredocuments every time I go back to this place. It's been about the 5th time I've gone back and today they told me I need another two documents signed and notarized by my parents that live in Florida. To be fair the people working are not bad people, but I really wish they could've just told/given me all the documents I need in order to change my plates and tabs. It takes about two hours for my parents to drive to the place in order to get something notarized and now they have to do it again. Also my insurance runs out in about a week, which is ridiculous because if they just gave me everything at once then I could've probably gotten everything at least a month before. This is also not completely their fault tho, hence why it is a 2 star. Since USPS gave me an incorrect change of address the first time around, and the second one came late as well. I'm sorry to the staff there but this whole mess has made me more stressed than I have ever been during University. Why isn't there like a full list that you can give us to complete? I saw that another review had a similar problem as well, like why? Why would you want us to come back a handful of times? Sorry for the rant but this is my honest review.

Recently a friend told me about the library's Libby app that is FREE where I can borrow audible books. I was excited about the prospect of "reading" in this new (for me) way. I tried to get things set up on my phone but was having some issues so I stopped in the the Ferndale Library. The staff there is over the top amazing. I wish I had gotten the name of the lady who helped me that day. Not only did she get me all set up on the Libby app, she anticipated my future questions and needs and I learned a lot! It took all of five minutes! Not only is the staff here awesome, Ferndale Library has got a great parking lot, is very inviting and there are so many new things to discover for example lots of other online resources! I'm the past few weeks I have "read" more books than I have in the past few years on the Libby app! So handy while walking dogs or even driving or doing chores! If you haven't been to the library in awhile, you might want to stop in and see what's new!!!
