"A Muckleshoot tribal vision for education from childhood through college could benefit rapidly growing South King County. The tribe and the King County Library System want to build a library on Muckleshoot land that would serve surrounding communities such as Auburn and Enumclaw.
The library would help fulfill the educational missions of both groups and also connect the tribe to its neighbors. For the Muckleshoots, the library would relieve the pressure of an ever-growing education system, which has seen the Muckleshoot Tribal College grow from 60 students in 2002 to 425 this year. The current library on the reservation is just more than 1,000 square feet and was built in the 1970s.
The tribe envisions a portion of the library dedicated to their traditions and other American Indians. Library users would get an idea about the place where the library is located and the people who live there."
