Join Us at Library Advocacy Day in D.C.

Print

For one year only, Library Advocacy Day (LAD) will replace National Library Legislative Day (NLLD). Register now to attend! For the latest information on LAD, continue to visit the LAD homepage, follow #lad2010 on Twitter, and visit the Library Advocacy Day pages on ALA Connect.

On June 29, 2010, library advocates from all 50 states and Washington, D.C. will meet at Upper Senate Park on the U.S. Capitol grounds.  The event, which will begin at 11 a.m., will feature guest speakers, photo ops, and a chance to cheer on libraries!  Download Directions to the Rally (Word).

After the rally, participants will meet with their elected officials and their staffs. Your NLLD coordinator will be running point for your state, so please get in touch with them if you plan to attend. The states with the most people will be featured front and center, which means they are the ones that will be in the majority of pictures. Make sure your state is the most represented so your group can be in the most pictures!

For information on state lobbying days, contact your State Chapter. (If you’re not a member of your State Chapter, please join!)

Note: National Library Legislative Day (NLLD) usually occurs at this same time of year. For 2010 only, Library Advocacy Day will take its place, instead.
