Why It's a Great Department
The Pierce County Law Library has been recognized for its innovation in creating branch law libraries inside public libraries throughout Pierce County. While we are a small library with low foot traffic (approx. 120 visitors per day), we are starting to recover post Covid. Our staff is down from typical of five to three, but we’re planning to hire an additional reference librarian to our current staff next year. As the only public law library in Pierce County, the mission of the Pierce County Law Library is to provide county-wide convenient access to current legal information including explanatory materials. The library provides information in print and electronic formats as are suitable for the diverse Pierce County community to use in criminal and civil litigation and for the resolution of personal and business legal matters. Our mission is also to provide trained and knowledgeable Library staff to assist patrons in meeting their legal information needs.
