Library Listening Session

with Lt. Governor Bysiewicz

a Huge Success!


Dear CLC Members,


I am so pleased to report that the Library Listening Session with Lt.
Governor Bysiewicz and Representative Palm was an enormous success. Over 65
school, academic and public librarians came out to the Capitol to tell the
legislature about the issues facing libraries and library workers.


This was an unprecedented opportunity for Connecticut libraries. Rather
than us pleading with legislators to listen, the legislators invited US to
come and speak.


CLA President Sarah McCusker, Old Lyme Library Director Katie Huffman, CLA
Intellectual Freedom Committee Chair Sam Lee, and Past President of the CT
Association of School Librarians Barbara Johnson spoke about the many
attempts at book banning across the state and the need for more school
librarians.


LION eBook Committee Chair Rebecca Harlow, CLA Legislative Co-Chair Kate
Byroade, New Haven school librarian Alicia Cook, and eBook Study Group
founder Kyle Courtney spoke about the difficulties libraries face when
building and maintaining eBook collections.


All of our collective action resulted in eight pieces of earned media. From
an editorial from the Hearst Media Group

we were everywhere this past week.


So, what happens from here?


Now that the listening session is done, we'll be getting to work drafting
legislation for the 2024 legislative session. We now know that our eBook
bill will be reintroduced in the Planning and Development Committee. What
we don't know is what type of legislation we'll see around intellectual
freedom. We've put forth a number of proposals for discussion, and we'll
likely be making decisions in the coming weeks.


The new legislative session in Hartford starts on February 4 and runs until
May 4. This being the short session, we don't have a lot of time. We'll
need your help. Libraries are likely going to be more visible in Hartford
over these few months than they've ever been before.


As we get closer to February, watch your email for ways you can get
involved. Ways you can stand up for libraries. Ways you can be part of
positive change. We need you with us because, as always, we're stronger
together.
