Legislator visits as a powerful tool

Advocacy at Your Library: Hosting Legislator Visits

Free Webinar from the Public Library Association

June 10, 2025, 1:00–2:00 p.m. Central

Meeting with your members of Congress doesn’t have to be intimidating or happen just on Legislative Day visits in D.C. or your state capital. Inviting lawmakers to visit the library is the best way to show them the many unique ways libraries positively impact communities. As funding structures and political realities shift, visits are a powerful tool to build relationships, gain support, and publicize the library’s programs and services. In this free webinar, a panel of public librarians will share best practices, tips, and advice on how to successfully host lawmakers.
