[CASL-L] Library Advocacy Day--April 10th!

[Melissa Thom]

Hello!

*SAVE THE DATE*: Wednesday, April 10, 2019 for Library Advocacy Day at the
state capitol.


Check out CLA's Legislative Agenda
<https://ctlibraryassociation.starchapter.com/downloads/Advocacy/cla_legislative_agenda_2019.pdf>
for
the 2019 session of the General Assembly.

Use these talking points
<https://ctlibraryassociation.starchapter.com/downloads/Advocacy/talking_points_to_support_the_cla_legislative_agenda.docx>
when
speaking with your legislators about the importance of libraries.


Here are more details from CLC:

Our official gathering will be at 2:00 and will probably be about an hour
long.  We have Room 310 at the Capitol until 4:00 p.m.

We’ll have handouts available at the CLA table in the LOB corridor that
people can stop by and pick up from 8:00 a.m. on.  We’ll be using that as
our home base.



I recommend making appointments at any time that day that’s convenient for
the person who will be visiting.



Here’s what’s going on at the Capitol and LOB on Wednesday:

committee meeting time.
