On May 13 & 14, 2008, hundreds of librarians and library supporters of all kinds are heading to Washington, DC, for an event like no other: National Library Legislative Day. And you can be a part, too!

National Library Legislative Day is a two-day event in which people who care about libraries participate in advocacy and issue training sessions, interact with Capitol Hill insiders, and visit Congressional member offices to ask Congress to pass legislation that supports libraries.

Can't make it to DC on May 14 for National Library Legislative Day? No problem.

You can take part in a VIRTUAL LIBRARY LEGISLATIVE DAY! It's easy for you to participate. Get everyone you know to help call, fax and email their Members of Congress to tell them about the importance of libraries in your community.

National Library Legislative Day is sponsored by the American Library Association, Chief Officers of State Library Agencies, the District of Columbia Library Association, and the Special Libraries Association.
