The Seattle Public Library is closed this week due to budget cuts. All branches are closed and the website as well. It's hard to believe that they had to close all branches, all at the same time, and turn off all the features of the website, too.
Most of the libraries here have been renovated or built recently and the one downtown is an impressive piece of architecture. I check out books from the library fairly regularly, but I guess I won't be doing it this week.
We moved to Seattle in February 2008 and shared blog posts and photos during our first few years in Seattle.

That's bizarre. They should close down lots of things before they close down libraries, like, y'know, the government offices themselves, which nobody ever needs.
The Wedgwood branch library was on the list along with Meadowbrook to be closed due to budget cuts. But a middle school kid started a petition and got enough signatures that will keep the library open. It was on our local news tonight.
