ByWater Solutions Announces September 2022 Community Giveback Winner

by Elise Aiello on Sep 21, 2022

Each month, ByWater Solutions selects one library to be awarded $500. These funds are meant to support libraries and their communities and fill gaps in funding to further library goals.

We are excited to announce our September 2022 winner of the ByWater Community Giveback, the Law Library Association of St. Louis in St. Louis, Missouri.

The funds will be used to support the Judicial Legacy Project. This project involves interviewing and filming distinguished members of bench of the 22nd Judicial Circuit (where the library is housed) in the ibrary. Many of the judges are female and/or African-American. By telling and preserving the stories of these distinguished and influential female and African-American voices and including these on the website, the Judicial Legacy Project lifts up their stories to promote greater diversity and inclusion in the legal and judicial professions.

The Law Library Association of St. Louis commented:

The Law Library Association is honored to be the first Law Library to receive a Community Giveback Award Grant from ByWater Solutions! This will help fund our Judicial Legacy Project. The Judicial Legacy Project consists of interviews of retired judges in St. Louis City, a diverse group of distinguished jurists who share their wisdom from their years on the bench."
