News from the Washington State Law Library

. We ’ re Moving Soon (Temporarily)!

The move that we announced earlier this year is just around the corner. The Law Library will be moving to a temporary location in Tumwater while the Temple of Justice undergoes infrastructure renovations. Packing and transport of a portion of the library collection will happen over the summer months. To prepare for the move, we are making the following changes to library services until we are settled in our new building: Book Renewals and Checkouts: Starting May 20 th , we will not check out or renew books until we are moved into our new location in Tumwater. The last opportunity to check out books before we move will be during curbside hours on Thursday, May 19 th . Curbside Service: Starting May 24 th , Curbside Service will operate at the Temple of Justice on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 - 1 for returns only . We cannot accept book returns at the Temple of Justice outside of curbside hours. If you are not able to return books during curbside hours, please contact the reference desk (360 - 357 - 2136) for additional return options. Research Services and Response Time: Reference staff is still available to answer legal research questions over the phone and via email. During this time of transition, reference staff may need additional time to answer requests as access to the collection may be limited. Contact us at 360 - 357 - 2136 or Library.Requests@courts.wa.gov.

We will post all relocation updates to our website (https://www.courts.wa.gov/library/) and social media channels.
