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.
