Federal:
Registration is open for National Library Legislative Day – the advocacy event runs May 2-3 and registration is due by April 22. The event includes: an advocacy training session preconference; a briefing day with sessions on issues affecting libraries and appearances by Congressional staff, legal experts, lobbyists, and ALA staff; a Congressional reception; and meetings with individual legislators. Register today if you want to take your library advocacy to the next level!
State:
Unfortunately the March 15th primary did not provoke any action on the budget stalemate. State legislators are currently considering Senate Bill 2059, which would provide for both higher education funding and library equalization and per capita grant funding. Consider contacting your legislators (again) to express the need for consistent library funding.
