Library Advocacy Day Update
This year, there will be no National Library Legislative Day. Instead, since the ALA Annual Conference will be held in Washington DC this year and 25,000 plus librarians will be in town, there will be a rally followed by visits to congressional offices. It is not necessary to be attending the ALA conference to participate in the rally. Here’s the info:
Library supporters from around the country will join together on Tuesday, June 29, to express their support for library-friendly funding and policies to the U.S. Congress. Our rally will take place on Capitol Hill and will serve as a visual reminder to members of the U.S. Congress that libraries still matter.
The rally will be at Upper Senate Park, on Capitol Hill, on Tuesday, June 29, at 11 a.m. We have a permit beginning at 9 a.m. We expect participants will start gathering after 10 AM and will have some entertaining distractions until 11 a.m.
