Introduction
Washington state residents can access a variety of electronic resources using their Washington State Library library card, including NewsBank, ProQuest, and Gale databases. These resources allow users to learn new skills, develop their business acumen, research past events and stay current with contemporary newspapers, and find reliable health and wellness information (to name just a few things you can do!). Teachers and parents alike can explore learning materials developed for the educational needs of students. Anyone interested in developing crucial digital skillsets can gain industry-recognized credentials through the online resources available in our Digital Skills Resources for Washingtonians guide.
We also offer a variety of online resources that do not require a library card or access code to use. These include historic newspapers, primary source materials for teachers and students, digitized cultural collections from communities across Washington, and more!
