West Virginia Library Commission

The West Virginia Library Commission will use funds under the American Rescue Plan Act to help communities respond directly and immediately to the pandemic, as well as to related economic and community needs through equitable approaches in digital inclusion and library services. They will continue to support the goals of their Five-Year Plan for FY 2018-2022. In West Virginia, specific goals address the West Virginia Library Commission: 1) Addressing the need for access to information and education resources to improve lifelong learning for all West Virginians. The WVLC will strengthen and support West Virginia libraries by expanding access to information, facilitating resource sharing among libraries, and providing a strong technological infrastructure; and 2) Strengthening and supporting West Virginia libraries through renewed focus on advisory support and continuing education programs to help libraries achieve sustainable progress and strengthen their ability to meet the contemporary demands of their unique communities.
