2025 WLA Pawsident Election
Nominations now open!
Do you have a pet who loves watching you read? Do they try to attend your online library-related meetings? Do they inspect your tote bag after every library trip you make? If so, your pet probably loves libraries! That’s already worth celebrating—give yourself (or your pet) a pat on the back. But why stop there? WLA is hosting a “Pawsidential” election fundraiser, and we’d love for you to nominate your furry friend! Nominations close Friday, Nov. 29.
The election is part of our ongoing #SupportWALibraries fundraising, which assists with WLA scholarships, member services, and more!
