 Since its launch, the Washington State Library’s Hard Times Resource Guide has been used to help thousands of Washington residents find jobs, get information about housing and health issues, and much more. One of the most-used sections of the Guide, resources for Employment and Job-Seeking, focuses heavily on Washington resources, with a strong emphasis on finding employment within Washington State. A new section on Resume Help has been included, as well as additional information on finding different types of employment, such as hourly positions, freelance work, and temp jobs. |

"A big thanks to our contributor-participants at Bleyhl Community Library and the R.E. Powell Museum, especially Ruth Dirk (at Bleyhl), who did a wonderful job of cataloging the collection, and has contributed immensely to its development and design. Also to Jean Marie Coursey who was invaluable in tracking down descriptions for R.E. Powell Museum objects.

In 2007, the Mayor and City Council and
Yakima Valley Community College
agreed to pursue the concept of a new joint library facility on
YVCC's Grandview campus. The college engaged an architect to develop
a preliminary design for a $4 million facility. Early plans describe
a
12,000 square-foot library
that would meet the needs of both the community and college students.
It will improve the ability for YVCC to deliver high-quality
academic, vocational and adult basic education and will provide
informational resources to residents of the Lower Yakima Valley.
YVCC submitted a $2 million matching grant application to the State,
and has been notified that this project has been ranked #1 for
potential funds from the state legislature in May 2009. In September
of 2008 the federal government approved a $600,000 grant for the
project, leaving a balance of $1.4 million yet to be raised so the
project can become a reality. Construction could begin by late
summer 2010 and completed by fall 2011.
