Talk:Washington State Library

Closure to public
The December 19, 2002 Olympian article quoted in this section is describing a plan that was never implemented: "...but was saved by eliminating public access and cutting 81 of 114 paid positions.[19]." The State Library was never closed to the public, nor did it experience this number of RIFs. This statement could mislead Wiki readers that the library is closed and/or unavailable. A better article to sum up the early 2000s might be this one from January 19, 2004 Olympian, "State library survives transformation." Mpschaff (talk)
 * Thanks for leaving a note here. I have looked over the article you suggested and made a few changes.  Sounder Bruce  03:50, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

New building
A good addition to this essay would be the plans for the new combined State Library/State Archives building that has been approved by the Legislature: http://www.thedailyworld.com/news/new-state-library-archives-building-and-the-2-fee-to-pay-for-it-are-closer-to-reality/ (Mpschaff talk)
