THERE’S A LIBRARY FOR YOU! The Seattle Theatre Group had a vision – to develop a historic theater library for the Paramount, Moore, and Neptune Theatres in Seattle. On Thursday, March 1, 2012, this vision became a reality with the dedication of the Seattle Theatre Group Historic Theatres Library in Seattle. Volunteers devoted nearly 4,000 hours to tackle the massive job of gathering, sorting, documenting, cataloging, and preserving over 100 years of historical data! The objective of the Seattle Theatre Group Historic Theatres Library is three-fold:

To ensure that historical material from all three theaters is properly preserved and documented for future generations;
To provide an educational environment for youth so that they are able to learn about and experience firsthand the remarkable history of the theaters;
To offer the community a setting in which they may become better acquainted with the history, and develop a deeper understanding, of three of the few remaining historic theaters in Seattle.

Check it out:

Where: 911 Pine Street, Seattle, WA 98101;
When: Open Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.;
Admission: Free;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5) OCLC REPORTS – LIBRARIES NOW AND IN THE FUTURE What are the priorities for today’s libraries? What will the future hold for them? In mid-2011, OCLC conducted a study of U.S. public, academic, and community college libraries. Newly released reports providing the results from those studies reveal what librarians see as their top priorities, what they think their physical library spaces will look like in 5 years, and what role evolving tools and resources, like eBooks and social media, play in their current and future priorities.
