<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:16.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif;color:#212121">Washington State Library has a new director: Cindy Aden</span></b><span style="color:#212121"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif;color:#212121">Secretary of State Kim Wyman today announced appointment of Cindy Altick Aden as director of the Washington State Library.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#212121"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif;color:#212121">Aden will take the helm next month of the state’s oldest cultural institutions, dating back more than 160 years when it was created by the state’s first territorial governor, Isaac Stevens,
with a $5,000 congressional appropriation for a collection of books he purchased and sent around the Horn.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#212121"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif;color:#212121">Aden has an extensive background in public libraries and the private sector, including stints at Amazon, Corbis, and community newspapers. She is a graduate of Stanford University and the
University of Washington School of Library and Information Science.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#212121"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif;color:#212121">“I am delighted to appoint Cindy to provide new leadership at one of the library community’s most important jobs,” Wyman said. “I am excited about the creativity and passion she brings to
the table. She has the skills and the vision to help pivot the Library to new levels of relevance, technology advances and user-friendliness in this challenging and exciting new century.”</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#212121"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif;color:#212121">Aden said she is “honored and excited” to take the new post and eager to join a staff of experienced professionals. She praised the Legislature and Secretary Wyman for working hard to put
the Library on a solid financial footing.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#212121"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif;color:#212121">“It will be rewarding to once again put the State Library squarely in everyone’s line of sight,” she said. “I look forward to reaching out to all of the libraries in the state for dialogue
on what we can do together to make to make library services stronger for everyone in Washington.”
</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#212121"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif;color:#212121">Wyman said the selection of the new State Librarian reflects her vision for a Library that responds to the public’s need for solid information across platforms that are convenient and easy
to use. </span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#212121"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif;color:#212121">“Libraries are no longer just brick-and-mortar facilities,” Wyman said. “More and more people, including my own son and daughter, access information online. We also want to partner closely
with the State Archives to provide documents, books, images, maps, records and other materials in a way that is convenient to our thousands of in-person and online customers.”</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#212121"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif;color:#212121">The Washington State Library offers a wide variety of services, including print and digital collections, genealogy resources, photo collections, historic newspapers, help for researchers,
assistance to the Legislature and other policy-makers, and crucial assistance and resources for the state’s community, college and tribal libraries.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#212121"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif;color:#212121">The Library, a service of the Office of Secretary of State, operates the Washington Talking Book & Braille Library in Seattle and libraries in the state prisons and mental hospitals. Partnering
with Microsoft, the Library and over 400 community libraries offer hundreds of free online computer and IT courses through the Imagine Academy.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#212121"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif;color:#212121">“The Washington State Library has amazing resources for school kids, businesses and regular folks who want to expand their literacy and job skills,” Wyman said. “It’s very hands-on.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#212121"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif;color:#212121">“The Library also is the official conduit of federal library dollars that are a real lifeline to our community libraries. So literally the reach of the Washington State Library extends to
every community and legislative district.”</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#212121"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif;color:#212121">Aden is a seasoned professional with background in management, strategic leadership, librarianship, metadata, project management and more. She has worked at the Library of Congress, the University
of Washington Libraries, and Kitsap Regional Library. She was the first professional librarian hired by Amazon and also worked with Corbis and OCLC. She is a former president of the Washington Library Association.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#212121"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
