You can’t keep a good library down! Join SVGS on Saturday February 14, 2026, at 1pm at the Burlington Public Libraryfor “Washington State Library Family History Resources” with librarian Crystal Hicks. From historic newspapers and local city directories to maps and tribal histories, the Washington State Library has materials to aid you in your family history research. Come learn how we can still access these materials despite the library’s closure to the general public due to budget cuts.
