<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for forwarding our message. We’re super excited about the opportunity and very grateful to Mike Buschman at the State Library for thinking big. They are not only on board with funds, but also bring wonderful talents and perspective
on this type of training that will make it stronger. This work feels like a bright light during so many budget “can’t haves” these days.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of the things I love about this project is that it was dreamed up and shepherded in collaboration with our library staff and faculty. More when we’re together at LLC.

<p style="background:white"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:black">Something good is happening. The Washington State Library (WSL) has agreed to fund a professional development series on anti-racism practices in libraries.
This program is targeted to the Washington State community college libraries and is meant to be offered as an opportunity <span style="background:white">to a new cohort of libraries each year over several years. The idea is that each participating library

<p style="background:white"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:black">Background: Originally, North Seattle and Seattle Central college library deans reached out to WSL to explore funding options for a comprehensive, iterative
training in anti-racism practices for our entire staff and faculty. The ask grew into a discussion about scaling up to an initiative that could potentially benefit the entire system. After confirming a significant level of interest with LLC, we entered an
agreement with WSL to run the pilot with the promise of cultivating the professional development into a system wide opportunity. </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

</div>
<div>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:black">Expansion: The intention is that the initiative will expand into a second (2022-2023), a third (2023-2024), and possibly later waves of participation by
libraries throughout the system. This is completely voluntary, but the dream is that we reach a critical mass of participation within our system,<span style="background:white"> library by library. </span> Potentially, this could evolve into a longer-term
initiative that involves cycling back through the colleges so that early adopters get a refresher. The learning is iterative, after all.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

objectives will be to outline a process for how to identify second wave participating libraries. Lynn Kanne and I have committed to serving as co-leads for this task force and would love company.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
