I think I'm out of sources

If anyone else can find some, please let me know or add them in? Aside from subscription news sites (no access) I think I've run dry now. • Lawrence Cohen 18:20, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

I see that you cite Larry Kreisman of Historic Seattle; have you tried contacting him? Or have you tried contacting the current Ballard branch of the Seattle Public Library? - Jmabel | Talk 02:36, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
Also, I suspect that a floor plan might be available somewhere (either from the city archives or from the library system), and that it would be worth someone (probably me) snapping a photo that shows the curved rear. - Jmabel | Talk 03:02, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
I can track down contact info and e-mail, sure. Good idea. And thanks for the help. • Lawrence Cohen 04:26, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
You can email me and I'll pass along Larry Kreisman's email, but I don't think I should post it here. - Jmabel | Talk 18:28, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
Well, if you could ask him for the names (and dates?) of any additional sources, I could always track them down on my own to build this out further. If that's easier, to just copy/paste whatever list he may be able to provide to here? I wouldn't want to bother him with a cold-call email if you already know him. • Lawrence Cohen 18:35, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
Nope, I don't really know him. Never met him face-to-face, though I imagine eventually I will. My only contact with him has been precisely writing him for help with similar sorts of things. So, contact me, I'll get you his email address, and you can make the query. Not really a matter of cold-calling: this is part of what Historic Seattle is about. Hmm. Historic Seattle. No article. I'll remedy that some time. - Jmabel | Talk 02:18, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
I see his email address is posted on the organization's site: see http://www.historicseattle.org/contact/staff.aspx - Jmabel | Talk 18:36, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Peer review

  • Expand the intro to summarize the entire article.
  • Explain the "big picture." How does the library impact the community? How does it fit in with the entire Seattle library system? Why was it built and maintained in the location where it is currently? What is the future of the library?

Good start on the article. Cla68 07:02, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
