For Libraries

Picturing Washington's Libraries

Since the Library Development team is out on the road a lot visiting libraries throughout the state, we often take advantage of our visits by taking some pictures of the libraries and their surrounding areas. This let's us keep a visual record of the libraries we serve, but also allows you to tour a number of Washington libraries without having to pay for gas!

Library News The Everett Public Library’s staff association usually does something nice for the community around the holidays. This time, they decided to make diaper collection their focus after reading a story in The Herald in November about the bare shelves at the Everett Gospel Women’s Shelter. By the end of the year, they had gathered a mountain of diapers – about 75 packages with a total of more than 750 diapers.
