Hello LLC,
Please consider forwarding this along to librarians at your college. It would be fantastic for some new faces to lead CLAWS going forward. As much as I love being a CLAWS leader (along with Katie Hart from Centralia), seeing fresh faces and new voices would be really great.

WLA Statement on Anti-Racism

The Washington Library Association decries the brutality Black communities experience from those charged to protect and serve. Libraries are providers of vital resources for historically under-served communities, and this work has never been more important than it is now. We are responsible for continuing to do this difficult, sometimes painful work that demands we address our biases and how they impact our ability to serve our communities equitably. We urge library professionals across Washington to fight for Black lives, actively oppose systemic oppression and police brutality, and prioritize anti-racism in all that we do. The WLA Board is committed to doing this anti-racist work within our association. To be silent is to be complicit.

The Urban Libraries Council has also released a poignant statement on race and social equity, which serves as a baseline for libraries to build policies and actions designed to make their communities more inclusive and just. The statement has been signed by 163 public libraries across North America.

Washington State Library COVID-19 Datasets

The Washington State Library has been documenting public libraries’ continued service to their communities during the COVID-19 pandemic and facility closures. The State Library’s open datasets track services such as virtual programming, public wifi, resource guides for remote workers and learners, and more. As libraries reopen, these datasets are being updated to reflect curbside and mail service.
