 2011 WHCLIST Award



The White House Conference on Library and Information Services Taskforce
(WHCLIST) and the ALA Washington Office are calling for nominations for the

participant in National Library Legislative Day (NLLD). The winner receives
a stipend of $300 and two free nights at the NLLD hotel). This year, NLLD
will be held on May 9 and 10 in Washington, D.C.



WHCLIST has been an effective force in library advocacy nationally,
statewide and locally since the White House Conferences on Library and
Information Services in 1979 and 1991.  WHCLIST has provided its assets to
the ALA Washington Office to transmit its spirit of dedicated, passionate
library support to a new generation of advocates.  Both ALA and WHCLIST are
committed to ensuring the American people get the best library services
possible.
