All,

I am excited have CASL be part of CLA’s advocacy efforts.

Attached is CLA’s 2019 Legislative Agenda. Links below can guide you to find out who your local representatives are and how to contact them.

I encourage you all to know who they are and reach out to them to “educate” them as to the integral part libraries play in equity, access, and inclusion for our patrons.

Dear CASL colleagues,

Attached is CLA's legislative agenda for 2019, including both financial and legislative initiatives. Please share with your contacts. Below is the message that was sent out on the Conntech listserv from our Past President Glenn Grube.

"Attached, please find CLA’s legislative priorities for 2019.  Please share this with other library advocates, both within the library profession and “civilians” who support the cause.  Reaching out to your state senators and representatives to encourage them to support these budgetary and legislative initiatives is especially important if you have freshman legislators.  CLA’s advocacy page (https://cqrcengage.com/alact/?0) will be updated through the legislative session and, if you haven’t already, please register your email with us (https://cqrcengage.com/alact/app/register?9&m=54210) so you can receive legislative alerts tailored to specific issues related to libraries and library funding.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me or anyone on the CLA Board with questions about how you can help."

Thank you for all of your support!
