Magnet libraries may be option to forced closures

Read about this possible solution Here. From the Tacoma Washington News Tribune.






To offset budget cuts, Tacoma Public Library branches in East, Central and South Tacoma may lose materials but gain literacy and career-training programs.


Administrators say this \”magnet library\” concept would help avoid closing branches. Four of the system\’s sleepiest libraries – King, Mottet, South Tacoma and Swan Creek – would devote more space and materials to themes such as literacy or computers and drop some of their collections aimed at the general public.
