State Library Consumer Information Made Easy on the NET Three years ago, librarians across Washington State agreed that good consumer protection information was very difficult to find. The Washington State Library (WSL) took the lead and leveraged $100,000 in federal grant money to create Find-It! Consumer. The team involved eight other state agencies as sponsors and contributors, reviewed scores of existing sites to identify those which were credible and reliable sources, and brought them together under one search engine. Water and air quality, pesticide use, and food safety are just a few topics Find-it! Consumer will help citizens to research. By visiting the site, consumers can search more than 70 consumer-protection sites that have been reviewed and recommended by consumer experts and librarians. Find-It! Consumer also will provide consumer alerts and advice. Results Made it possible for Washington citizens, from their desktops, to access consumer protection information available from state government agencies and national Internet sites that have been reviewed and recommended for their credibility.

Washington Council for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect Children’s Day in Washington State Children’s Day is the second Sunday of October every year. In 1997, Washington Council for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (WCPCAN) committed to raising the public’s awareness of Children’s Day by providing minigrants to communities across the state to help them plan and implement Children’s Day celebrations. This year WCPCAN expanded our outreach efforts to increase community-based participation by focusing on child health and safety and expanding our outreach to special populations. Results ★ Received 20 grant applications. This is a record number. ★ The mini-grant review committee included parent participation. ★ Designed outreach materials with key messages to increase program capacity to leverage resources around child health and safety. ★ The Thurston Community Network funded four programs, Whatcom Community Network funded one program and Island County/Stanwood Community Public Health and Safety Network participated. ★ Sent do-it-yourself Children’s Day planning packets to 171 programs and/or organizations. ★ We had tremendous media support. Children’s Day articles were also featured in seven “state” publications. ★ Our events included a health fair for Hispanic families, a cultural awareness day at a housing authority facility, a homeless teen task force, an event fostering relationships in a rural community, a fireside chat to mobilize the African American community to support academic achievement, and a culturally significant tribal celebration. ★ Over 755 children, 476 adults, 55 organizations, and 168 volunteers participated in WCPCAN funded events.
