We need your voice to be heard on National Library Legislative Day (May
13-14)!

During this time, I will be joining hundreds of librarians and library
supporters across the country visiting legislators in Washington, D.C.

We need you to join the thousands of other librarians, library workers,
trustees, and library users participating in "Virtual Library
Legislative Day!"

Please take 10-15 minutes today or tomorrow to send a message to all of
your congressional representatives, letting them know how important
libraries are to society, and the need for (a) more federal funding for
libraries; (b) a certified school media specialist in every school; (c)
fair copyright laws; (d) an expanded role for libraries in
E-Government; and (e) national security letter reform.

ALA's Legislative Action Center, at
http://capwiz.com/ala/utr/1/NFNVILHLSF/AXQVILIWGT/1977190771/, provides you
with talking points on these
important issues.  You can use them to craft your message as you wish,
and send it to all of your representatives.

Thanks so much for taking a few minutes out of your day to help
libraries across the nation!

Sincerely,

Loriene Roy
ALA President
