Westchester Library Association Statement on COVID-19
The Westchester Library Association’s purpose is to provide for the exchange of ideas and experiences among members and to foster library services to all residents of Westchester County. As the County experiences unprecedented challenges due to the COVID-19 virus, WLA and its members will continue to respond to the needs of their patrons by providing outreach and support. WLA is collaborating with other library associations and organizations in the New York area to ensure all necessary considerations are being explored in a collective manner.
