[LIBRARYDIR] Librarian Certification

[Mike Wood]

“No library serving a community having over four thousand population, nor any library operated by the state or under its authority, may have in its employ, in the position of librarian or in any other full-time professional library position, a person who does not hold a librarian's certificate issued by the state librarian or its predecessor.”

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

We pause to acknowledge that Bellevue College resides on the traditional land of the Coast Salish Peoples that includes but is not limited to: Snoqualmie, Suquamish, Duwamish, Nisqually, Tulalip, and Muckleshoot (Smulkamish, Stkamish, Skopamish, and Upper Puyallup) Peoples past and present. We remember their connection to the region and recognize their struggles with systemic oppression. We commit to care for the land and center equity at the core of our (un)learning.
