We’re half way through National Library Week!  I hope you’re having fun in your libraries.  This is a time to celebrate libraries, library staff, customers and everything we do together.

We’re also getting closer to National Library Legislative Day 2012 on April 24th.

Have you made an advocacy plan or are you not sure where to begin?

ALA and YALSA have many resources for people who have just begun their Legislative Day preparations as well as tools for those well on their way.   You don’t need to go to D.C. to advocate.  These resources are available right at your fingertips.

You can begin by reading YALSA’s Legislative Advocacy Guide and finding the contact information for your senator.

We’ve also put together some Advocacy Talking Points for 2012.
