[CASL-L] Fwd: Urgent! Do today! Support the CT State Library at the CGA Special Session

[Past President]

Hi everyone - If you'd like a little more information about how to submit
testimony, please follow these directions.

Hope it helps!
Jenny

Steps:
Create your testimony in a doc so you can copy and paste or upload it (save
as a pdf). I change who I address it to:

Thank you to the Distinguished Members of the *Education* committee for
this opportunity to share my support for the Connecticut State Library.

and then again at the end:
As shared, I strongly support the CT State Library. I appreciate the *Education
*Committee taking a moment to understand to my perspective as a constituent
and resident who deeply values the services and roles of the State Library.

I sent the same testimony to the Education, Appropriation, and Children's
committees.

How to submit:

Click on the appropriate committee.
Under Contact (on the left):
Select submit public hearing testimony
Meeting date not listed
No bill # - click Meeting date not listed in that box
Choose General comments or supports
Type in or upload your comments

Sincerely,
Jenny
