LIBRARIES: Services added at two branches in West Seattle

As part of another expansion of pandemic-era services, the Seattle Public Library has just added two more days of curbside service each week at Southwest Library (9010 35th SW). Starting today, that branch will offer curbside service noon-6 pm, Tuesdays through Saturdays. Southwest is one of two branches on the peninsula that offer curbside service; the other is High Point (3411 SW Raymond), which remains on a three-day-a-week curbside schedule, noon-6 pm Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. Those two branches also are among the locations where SPL is now providing curbside printing-pickup service. SPL also has added return services at the West Seattle (Admiral) branch (2306 42nd SW) and South Park branch (8604 8th S.); the Delridge branch is now the only branch in our area without either curbside service or return service.

WSB. As someone who does taxes the old fashioned way can you enquire it there’ll be tax forms available before tax day. I hope i’m wrong but wonder if libraries will even open up before April.

FYI-on irs.gov you can print out most forms that you would need or you can order tax forms for free. They ship out quickly.

Cardriver, you can find pdfs of the tax forms online and print them out as needed, then fill them in the old-fashioned way. The instruction manuals are also easier to find and scan online than the physical instruction manuals.

I’m aware of the online options however i don’t have a printer-or know someone who has one(i used that at the library also). Any other options???

The library does offering curbside printing. https://www.spl.org/using-the-library/reservations-and-requests/reserve-a-computer/computers-and-equipment/printingThey have been super helpful when I go there. If you don’t have a way to contact them before, maybe they can help you at the walk-up window.

Cardriver, let me know which forms you need and I’ll print them off & drop them off for you.
