News from the Washington State Law Library
Welcome Back to the Law Library! It ’ s a new year and we have BIG news! Reference Librarians continue to provide excellent legal research assistance, Monday – Friday, 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, but we ’ re excited to say that we can now also provide it IN - PERSON in our Tumwater location. While our space does look much different from the Temple of Justice and our walk - in services are modified to fit our new (smaller) space, we are thrilled to be able to welcome patrons in - person once again. To prepare for your visit, please take a moment to read this very important information and contact the Reference Desk at library.requests@courts.wa.gov or 360 - 357 - 2136 if you have any questions: • Law library services are located on the first floor of Town Center East Building 3 (243 Israel Road SE, Tumwater). Parking is convenient and free. When you arrive, please visit the reference desk first. • Browsing the stacks is unfortunately not possible in our Tumwater location. However, librarians can have books waiting for you when you get here, or retrieve them during your visit. • Due to space limitations, we only brought our most frequently used books over from the Temple of Justice. To find out which titles are available to check out, look for Town Center under the location field in our catalog (https:// librarycatalog.courts.wa.gov/) or contact the reference desk to inquire about the title you ’ re looking for. You may check out up to 10 items. • Curbside service is still available for checkouts and returns on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. We are also still able to ship or scan and email materials to your home or law firm. Contact the reference desk for all delivery options. • We do not have case briefs on site in Tumwater. For case briefs, please contact the reference desk for delivery options. • Westlaw and HeinOnline will be available on one computer in the research room for 30 - minute research sessions. To ensure that the computer will be open during your visit, please contact the reference desk to book an appointment. • Self - service photocopying and scanning are available in the research room. • General internet browsing, email, newspapers and word processing are only available at the nearby State Library and Tumwater Public Library. • While masks are not required in the research room, we will make them available if you prefer to wear one during your visit. We look forward to seeing you and assisting you with your legal research in person once again.
