All Hail The Law Library Trustees!
Thurston County ’ s Board of Law Library Trustees has recently been reconstituted and will be working to expand the resources available to the Bar and the community through Thurston County ’ s Law Library. By statute, each county over a certain population is to have a law library, administered by a board of law library trustees, which must include two members from the county bar association. See RCW chapter 27.24. The Thurston County Bar Association ’ s representatives on Thurston County ’ s Board of Law Library Trustees are now Marie Docter and Michael Young. The other Trustees are Judge John Skinder, Judge Allison Zipp, and County Commissioner Carolina Mejia. Funding for a county ’ s law library is provided via a portion of each filing fee paid for civil matters, with monies deposited in a dedicated law library fund. See RCW 27.24.070. Thurston County ’ s Law Library Board of Trustees was inactive for some time and no significant expenditures were made from the law library fund. As a result, the current balance of the law library fund is estimated to be approximately $386,000. In the coming months, the Board of Law Library Trustees will be meeting and planning how best to spend monies from the law library fund to provide library resources to the Bar and the community. TCBA members are encouraged to provide their ideas for how these funds can best be utilized to expand library resources. Members may attend and participate in the Board ’ s public meetings. Meeting notices are posted on the Superior Court ’ s website, under “ court news, ” at https://www.thurstoncountywa.gov/departments/superior - court/court - news. To receive notice of Board meetings, contact Thurston County Superior Court staff attorney Matt Morbello at matt.morbello@co.thurston.wa.us. TCBA members may provide their ideas about the County Law Library through Marie or Michael via tcba.info@gmail.com.
