YOU CAN STILL REGISTER AND ATTEND NATIONAL LIBRARY LEGISLATIVE DAY

The 2011 National Library Legislative Day is quickly approaching and will be held on Monday, May 9, and Tuesday, May 10. On Monday, there is an all-day briefing at the Liaison Hotel in Washington, D.C. Tuesday will be spent in Congressional offices with visits scheduled ahead of time by myself (Julie Schneider) Many changes in Congress now contribute to a new political climate in both the House and the Senate. New members need to hear from you and other constituents. We hope to have a good showing of Wisconsin librarians in legislators offices.

The registration fee is $20 and includes breakfast and an afternoon snack. Register online for NLLD now or download this form (pdf), complete and mail it to your state coordinator. Having trouble with registration? Take a look at our step-by-step instructions (pdf).

The American Library Association has a block reserved at the Liaison Hotel, and the block is listed under American Library Association 2011. You may also make reservations by calling 1-866-AFFINIA or clicking here.

If you have questions, please email Julie Schneider (jschneider@library.wisc.edu) or Rhonda Puntney (rpuntney@lakeshores.lib.wi.us).
