The Clark County Historical Museum – housed in a former library – is heading up “Mr. Carnegie’s Grand Tour of Washington.” The tour is designed as a theme for family road trips and to bring visitor traffic to heritage sites around the state. Washington’s Carnegie library cities include: Auburn, Anacortes, Burlington, Edmonds, Goldendale, Pasco, Port Angeles, Port Townsend, Ritzville, Seattle (six sites), Snohomish, Spokane, Tacoma, Vancouver, and Walla Walla.

Elections:
Malden voters will be asked this November whether or not they want the town annexed into the Whitman County’s Rural Library District. If voters approve the annexation, a library tax will be levied against property owners. This year the library levy was just over $.45 per $1,000 assessed value.
