This is a reminder that registration is open for the 2023 ILA Library Legislative Meetups. This series of seven legislative events provides an opportunity to meet with your legislators and speak with them firsthand about issues affecting you and your library.
Library trustees, directors, and staff from public, school, and academic libraries are encouraged to attend and participate. Use this opportunity for photo ops with your elected officials to post on your social media or to invite them to visit your library.
You can find a complete list of upcoming meetups, along with background on legislative issues and advice on meeting with elected officials, here. Meetups run from Tuesday, November 28, to Wednesday, December 6.
Advance registration is required, with a deadline of Friday, November 24, so don’t wait! If you have questions about registration or are not sure which Meetup covers your library, please contact the ILA office at ila@ila.org.
