WLA Mission

The Washington Library Association leads, advocates, educates, and connects.

Join the Bookend Collective!

The WLA Bookend Collective offers corporate and nonprofit partners a meaningful way to champion our Association’s mission—to lead, advocate, educate, and connect. By becoming a member of the Bookend Collective, we can ensure Washington communities remain strong and thriving for future generations.

Your annual contribution to the WLA Bookend Collective will help support today, sustain tomorrow. Initiatives include:

• Accessible training and learning opportunities, often free or low-cost, equip every library worker with the knowledge and confidence to deliver exceptional service to their communities.
• Tailored advocacy resources address the specific challenges faced by libraries, helping them build stronger, more effective partnerships with local leaders and decision-makers.
• Building a library network that connects library staff across the state, fostering collaboration, shared learning, and growth. This network empowers the dedicated professionals to face challenges together and continue delivering vital services to their communities.
