In these tough times it can be hard to stay positive. We wait for budget cuts to decide our fates and hope that book budgets will not disappear and libraries will not close. However, there are encouraging things that are happening. Not only did the inmates from Washington Corrections Center for Women (WCCW) donate $1000 to their library, we received a $3000 donation from the Muckleshoot Native American Tribe for the library at Washington Corrections Center (WCC). This donation has come at a time when we need it most and it will be greatly appreciated by the patrons of the library. This will be a constant reminder to me that even in these tough times libraries are important and people are willing to support them. So from now on I will be trying to stay positive and focus on the good things, not just worry about the bad.
