<span style="font-family: Aptos; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">Do any of your libraries require the state librarian certificate for employment as library faculty? This question just recently came up from a faculty member. When I was employed at WSU, the
RCW was considered only applicable to the state lib and public libraries but wanted to check to see how you all are handling this. Thanks! -Karen</span></p>
