I have to repeat the concerns already expressed in this discussion. I am a Ph.D. Candidate working on a dissertation that focuses on the Pacific Northwest. I only found out about the closure of the library because a colleague forwarded an email to me. I was luckily able to visit the library on the last day they were open and finished up with most of the materials I needed. Even if the library was re-opened with limited hours the collective knowledge of the library staff would be lost. I know that I have been pointed towards materials I didn't even know existed that have proven invaluable to my research.
