National Library Legislative Day 2006
This year marks the 60th Anniversary of the American Library Association’s Washington Office, and the 32nd National Library Legislative Day! Join hundreds of library supporters from across the country visiting Members of Congress to share stories about libraries in your communities and to talk about the needs and accomplishments of libraries in your area.
Can’t go to Washington? You can still participate in Legislative Day. On May 1st and 2nd call, fax, or email your Members of Congress and tell them how important libraries are to you, your family, and your community. “Virtual Library Legislative Day” communicates the needs of libraries to Congress and increases the impact of the National Library Legislative Day in Washington D.C.

In California, you can also join the California Library Association in Sacramento for Library Legislative Day on Wednesday, April 26th.
