political story idea

In the assignment description, it was suggested that we cover how budget cuts affect services and programs. I have decided to research how budget cuts have affected WSU libraries and/or Pullman library. Recently, the Seattle library closed down for one week to save about $655,000 to help make up for economical strain and I'm wondering whether WSU and Pullman are experiencing the same types of pressures and considering similar alternatives (of cutting hours/products) and how that might affect students and residents.
