Subject: Take Part in Virtual Library Legislative Day



   This Tuesday and Wednesday, 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/NPMFTAOKJF/MPFNTAOKMA/9541705606>.
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
<http://capwiz.com/ala/utr/1/NPMFTAOKJF/CZLXTAOKMB/9541705606>as part of
Virtual Library Legislative Day (VLLD). All week long (May 6-10), 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 participate in
Virtual Library Legislative Day:

*Call Congress*
**
To call your Members of Congress, head to the VLLD alert
<http://capwiz.com/ala/utr/1/NPMFTAOKJF/GTCWTAOKMC/9541705606> at
the Legislative Action Center (LAC). After reading the issue briefs, head
back to the LAC
homepage<http://capwiz.com/ala/utr/1/NPMFTAOKJF/CDSJTAOKMD/9541705606>and
