WLA has announced the launch of a new statewide mentorship program and is seeking applications for members interested in participating as a mentor or mentee in the WLA Mentorship Program’s pilot year.

The WLA Mentorship Program is designed to provide encouragement, support, and guidance to library staff seeking professional growth through connections with experienced colleagues within a structured mentoring program. Mentees gain experience from knowledgeable library colleagues while becoming further involved in the statewide professional association. Mentors gain opportunities to give back to the profession, model volunteerism, and help influence the future of librarianship.

For more information about the WLA Mentorship Program and to see the program outline application, visit the WLA website.
