It is a historic day with President Joe Biden signing legislation marking Juneteenth, a day commemorating the end of slavery in the United States, as a federal holiday. Beginning in 2022, WEOKIE will be observing the holiday and closing all branches to reflect on the past and acknowledge the hard work that remains to be done to ensure true equality for all people of color. Because of the short time frame and our commitment to keep our members informed of closures and limited access to services, WEOKIE will remain open for normal business hours this Saturday, June 19. WEOKIE will continue to promote equity, diversity, inclusion, and celebrate the diverse backgrounds and identities of our staff and members.
