As the stimulus package, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, goes through the approval process in the House and Senate, it is important that we contact our federal Representatives and Senators to let them know how important it is for libraries to be included.’  ALA has made it easy for us to be active in our profession and advocate to include funds for public libraries: http://capwiz.com/ala/home/

Please take a moment to let those in Washington know the important services we provide for our patrons. Use the ALA Legislative Action Center to keep informed about future calls for action and be ready to respond.
