The results are in! Mylo has been elected as the 2025 WLA Pawsident. It was an exciting race with bark-to bark donations at the last moment, but Mylo secured the lead with a total of $260 raised.
Give all of our nominees and generous donors a round of a-paws for the success they fetched in this fundraiser - you all raised the woof by raising a total of $1586 for our ongoing #SupportWALibraries fundraising, which assists with WLA scholarships, member services, and more.
2025 WLA Pawsident merchandise is now available in the WLA store!
We hope you'll join us in Tacoma as we recognize Mylo at #WLA2025.

2024 Past-Pawsident Chewy
Take a look at Pawsident Chewy's whirlwind term as WLA's very first Pawsident. He received his own library card, became the face of the WLA Advocacy campaign, and got to "hang" with some cool library workers. Thank you, Pawsident Chewy, for setting a wonderful example for our next Pawsident!
