Email questions are answered by Downtown Library staff and are subject to Downtown Library hours. You may be advised that your question requires more extensive research, and that you must come to the library in person. You may email Reference directly at answers@spokanelibrary.org.

Our Obituary or Birth Request form is for out-of-town customers only.
