Library Foundation of Washington County, Oregon The Law Library and WCCLS are separate departments of Washington County, Oregon’s second largest county.

The Library Foundation of Washington County, Oregon (LFWC Oregon) supports the Washington County Cooperative Library Services (WCCLS) and Washington County Law Library through grants for services and programs. Established in 2018, The Library Foundation of Washington County, Oregon exists to support the Washington County Cooperative Library Services (WCCLS) and Washington County Law Library. They share the goal of providing or supporting access to information resources by the public and serving a diverse county containing large and small cities and unincorporated areas, and an ethnically and culturally diverse population. The Foundation is independent of the Law Library, WCCLS, and Washington County. However, the Law Library manager and WCCLS manager each sit as unpaid ex officio members of the Foundation’s Board of Directors to facilitate communication between the Board’s public members and the organizations the Foundation supports. LFWC Board members are volunteers representing the interests of legal services and public libraries. The Foundation does not engage in political lobbying, and has no paid staff or plans to pay staff in the future. The Foundation promotes the activities of both the Law Library and WCCLS through enhancing services and resources supported by fundraising events. Law Library services include outreach to Oregon lawyers and the non-legal community to access legal and procedural materials to aid in researching Oregon Law. WCCLS objective is to use money from fundraising activities to enhance countywide library services, such as books by mail to homebound residents, early literacy outreach, and countywide programming such as summer reading and The Art of the Story storytelling festival.

A new episode of OVERDUE: Weeding Out Oppression in Libraries, is now available! S5, E2: Disability Justice, Inclusion and Anti-Oppressive Compensation w/ C.A. Deane.
See: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1948067/episodes/19901676-s5-e2-disability-justice-inclusion-and-anti-oppressive-compensation-w-c-a-deane

In the second episode of this two-part interview, we are chatting with C.A. "Dean" Deane, a law librarian moving between academic law libraries and law firms with the skill to think in big picture about what is fair and reasonable using a global perspective and an anthropological lens. With their ability to synthesize information from many different places, Deane brings knowledge and information together for us to see the landscape of disability justice in (law) libraries.

In this half, Deane will share thoughts, wisdom and stories about salary surveys, advanced degree requirements (should we or shouldn't we!? That is the question!), mutual aid, and hot tips for engaging conference experiences and sessions.

The Library Foundation of Washington County is proud to support the Washington County Law Library, Oregon and it's mission to provide electronic access to legal practitioners and the general public.

We know that many residents count on the Washington County Law Library for free access to an extensive collection of legal information, resources, and research. We’re proud to offer this essential service to the public. However, due to inadequate state funding, the library will be closed for in-person visits on the following dates:

▪️October 5-9
▪️November 23-27
▪️December 21-January 1

Remote services will not be impacted by these changes. Patrons will still be able to access the library’s digital collection and consult the law librarian by emailing [email protected]. Visit www.washingtoncountyor.gov/law-library to learn more.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we balance the public’s needs with our current financial realities.
