   Next week on April 23 and 24, hundreds of library supporters from all
across the country will convene in Washington DC for National Library
Legislative Day.<http://capwiz.com/ala/utr/1/FYMORPSNSC/ICSERPSOEY/8180573396>They
will be briefed on legislative issues affecting libraries and will
meet with their Members of Congress to discuss them.

Even if you can't make it to DC, you can still advocate for libraries by
calling or emailing Congress as part of Virtual Library Legislative
Day.<http://capwiz.com/ala/utr/1/FYMORPSNSC/KWFRRPSOEZ/8180573396> All
week long (April 23-27), library supporters can let their legislators know
just how important our nation's libraries are to the communities they serve.

This is an especially important time to speak up for libraries as Congress
continues to make cuts that impact libraries. Here's how to
