If you have personal awareness (or know someone who does) of the state of one or more of these libraries, could you send me email or comment below? (Email: waltcrawford at gmail.com). If it’s still operating but entirely as a volunteer operation or a reading room, I’d like to know that as well.
Arranged by state (alphabetic by postal code); unless there’s an “in X,” the city name is in the library name.
Update, 10:30 a.m., April 10, 2012: Given early responses (and Michael Golrick’s forwarding of the list to state library coordinators), I’ve resolved a number of these already. The resolved ones now appear as struck out, with the resolution (Closed or Open) at the right. [Responses being added as received.]
