In This Issue: Participate in E-rate Lobbying Day! (September 
30,2005)

Library Supporters- Many of you may be planning to attend the SLD 
training day on September 30 in D.C. While you are in the nation's 
capitol, why not join us for a trip to Capitol Hill to show our 
support for E-rate?

The Washington Office is organizing an E-rate lobbying day on 
September 29. A morning briefing in the ALA Washington Office will 
be followed by visits to Congressional offices. Show your 
legislators that we support this program, tell the stories of its 
success in your libraries, and speak to the vital importance of 
the pending ADA legislation.

If you would like to participate in E-rate Lobby Day please send 
an e-mail to Erin Haggerty at ehaggerty at alawash.org.

Also, if you would like to participate but are not able to come to 
Washington we encourage you to email or call your Members of 
Congress on September 30th to tell them about the importance of 
the E-rate to your library.
