[LIBRARYDIR] WSL message from Secretary Wyman

[Ferrari, Ahniwa]

The new position Rand will be stepping in to is Federal Collection Executive Manager. I don’t know what that means or entails.

Wishing Rand the best and hoping we get another excellent State Librarian to step up.

As a supporter of the State Library, I wanted to let you know that Rand Simmons has decided to step aside as the State Librarian to take a new position within the State Library.

I very much appreciate all Rand has done to lead the State Library through some very difficult circumstances the past few years.  I am also very pleased Rand will remain with us in the Library and believe his skills and experience are a great fit for his new role and responsibility.

We will begin immediately with the search for a new State Librarian and are confident the opportunity to lead the transformation of the Washington State Library into the future will attract outstanding candidates.  In the meantime, the leadership, organizational structure and operations of the library will remain unchanged, guided by the oversight of Deputy Secretary of State Greg Lane.  Greg can be reached at greg.lane at sos.wa.gov<mailto:greg.lane at sos.wa.gov> or (360) 902-4141.

Thank you for your continued dedication to, and support of, the State Library.  We are excited for the future of this important institution.

Sincerely,
Kim Wyman
Washington Secretary of State
