Conference Date: June 29, 2010
More eventsPlan to attend ALA Library Advocacy Day in Washington DC on June 29, 2010. This will mark the end of the ALA Annual Conference in DC which is June 25-29.
The day will begin with an active rally at 11:00am at the Upper Senate Park on the capitol grounds. From there we will go to our scheduled visits with Pennsylvania legislators.
Make plans to join other concerned advocates. There are no fees for the event, but prior registration is necessary. Go to the PaLA web site at www.palibraries.org and look for the PA registration form. We need to know who your legislator is to make appropriate appointments. Check out the FAQ that is on the site as well. You’ll also need to register with ALA so a nametag will be ready for you. To do that, go to http://www.ala.org/ala/issuesadvocacy/advocacy/libraryadvocacyday/index.cfm to find lots of interesting information about the day.
Informative webinars hosted by ALA in May will contain current issues before congress.
If there are any questions, please email the PA coordinator Debbie Malone at debbie.malone@desales.edu
