This report is based on the 2015 Capital Budget directive for a new facility to replace the current Washington State Library facility and to provide for needed archives storage. After a comprehensive review of several sites, the location I am recommending in Tumwater meets the intent of RCW 43.82.10(6) which “encourages the colocation and consolidation of state services into single or adjacent facilities…” The Library-Archives building will bring together the unique collections of the State Library and State Archives along with other divisions of my office currently dispersed across seven locations in Thurston County. Consolidation of these services in a LEED® designed state-of-the-art facility will: • restore the preservation of our state’s historical documents to modern archival standards; • provide flexibility to adapt our storage needs as agencies progress with electronic records storage; • result in a more energy efficient facility; and • significantly improves public access to historical documents, records and government publications managed by my office. This report incorporates previous predesign work for the former Heritage Center and includes a site recommendation, program consolidation plan, cost estimates and bond capacity to build and operate the new Library-Archives facility.

    New York State Library Early Literacy Training—State Library Research and Best Practices Arizona: Holly Henley, Library Development Director, Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records, A Division of the Secretary of State, Carnegie Center, 1101 West Washington, Phoenix, AZ 85007, Phone: 602-926-3366, Fax: 602-256-7995, E-mail: [email protected] Insights: Library staff members who plan to offer early literacy workshops for parents and caregivers find it very helpful to see a demonstration of Every Child Ready to Read and Brain Time before doing them on their own. They also find it helpful to have someone who can act as a mentor while they are getting started. On an ongoing basis, a vehicle for communication and sharing experiences between those who are doing early literacy outreach is very helpful. It is essential to provide ongoing training opportunities for library staff in order to train new staff members in libraries and to keep continuing staff members informed of the latest best practices.
