Virtual Library Legislative Day
by Steven K. Bowers 15 Apr '16

15 Apr '16

FYI ________________________________ From: alacro-l-request(a)lists.ala.org <alacro-l-request(a)lists.ala.org> on behalf of Emily Sheketoff <esheketoff(a)alawash.org> Sent: Thursday, April 14, 2016 12:46 PM To: alacro-l(a)lists.ala.org Subject: [alacro-l] Virtual Library Legislative Day As part of National Library Legislative Day 2016 (NLLD), we are offering library advocates unable to attend in person the chance to participate through Virtual Library Legislative Day (VLLD)! This year, we're teaming up with the Harry Potter Alliance (HPA) to help expand our efforts and take advantage of the momentum started by the nearly 400 library supporters who plan to attend NLLD. Their Chapters' members are pledging their time to make calls, send emails, tweet, and otherwise raise awareness about library issues during the week of May 2nd. To date, the HPA has received pledges for nearly 500 actions from their members! We think we can do our wizarding friends even better. Over the next few weeks, please ask everyone in your circles -- members, followers, patrons, fellow library staffers, and listservs -- to join us! Once they register<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rFgFBSNzL3l2vL40lq1UragqzUkxZN18G1MY0hDdt-…> for VLLD, we'll follow up by sending them talking points and other handy resources they can use to advocate easily and effectively. We'll be including a link to a webstream of the National Library Legislative day program, live from Washington, on the morning of May 2nd. They'll get to hear our keynote speaker, former Congressman Rush Holt, and listen in on this year's issue briefing. I've attached a few graphics that I'll be using to promote VLLD on social media this year. There's also a handy resource toolkit for librarians<https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzUCAywi1eQDSW9laWJkNUlSSDZaY3oxM013X3hSTj…> who may want to get younger advocates involved. Please feel free to use them as you like! You can also find out more by visiting the United for Libraries<http://www.ala.org/united/advocacy/virtuallegday> and the Harry Potter Alliance<http://www.thehpalliance.org/national_library_legislative_day> webpages, or by subscribing to the Action Center<http://t.umblr.com/redirect?z=http%3A%2F%2Fcqrcengage.com%2Fala%2Fhome&t=ND…>.
