WSL Makes the Front Page

http://www.theolympian.com/static/images/todaysfrontpage/frontpage.jpgThe Washington State Library made the front page of the Olympian this morning. Unfortunately the headline reads: “State Library Faces Cuts.” I’ll keep my fingers crossed that one day in the future we’ll make it to the front page again with a better headline, something like “State Library prospers in new age of cultural awareness.”

In the meantime, the article has some information on what’s going on at the State Library and the sorts of cuts we’re anticipating.

Similar versions of the story appeared in other McClatchy papers, notably Tacoma’s News Tribune and The Bellingham Herald.

For more information on the cuts, and to find out how the State Library serves the vulnerable, and why we have to keep up a certain amount of Maintenance of Effort for Federal Funds, check out the Washington State Library’s State Library Budget Cuts information page.
