Washington State Library

The Washington State Library has faced a constantly shrinking budget, with its staff reduced from 158.1 FTEs to just 77 FTEs over recent years. Despite a cumulative 33% increase in inflation since this budget decline, the library has had to adapt to rising operational costs, including a 155.4% increase in rent and utilities after moving to a new location. Meanwhile, customer demand for services continues to rise dramatically, with online transactions up by 1,569.6% and traditional books checked out increasing by 78.6%. This situation presents significant challenges for meeting public needs.
