WA State Library News
One way or another, budget writers in the Legislature are moving closer to saving the Washington State History Museum in downtown Tacoma, along with the state’s other history museums, from cuts laid out by the governor. Critics Thursday focused on the plan’s potential effect on the State Library, which would be removed from Reed’s office and consolidated into the new department. Patrons of the Washington Talking Book and Braille Library, a part of the State Library that serves the blind, filled the hearing’s audience Thursday.
