Participate in Library Legislative Day to learn what's important to public officials and, in the process, position yourself as a resource on library issues.

Whether your constituent community is an academic campus, a K-12 school, a municipality, or museum, law firm or hospital, your legislators need to hear from you about important library issues!

Program Agenda (subject to change):

• 8:30 AM - 9:00 AM (Registration & Continental Breakfast)
• 9:00 AM - 10:30 AM (Briefing Session & Library Champions Awards)
• 11:00 AM - 12:00 AM (Morning Appointments*)
• 12:00 AM - 1:30 AM (Lunch-on-your-own)
• 1:30 AM - 3:30 AM (Afternoon Appointments*) 

*As always, the appointments will be scheduled for attendees by the Legislative Day Committee! 

WLA looks toward achieving some ambitious legislative goals over the next few years, and it has to start now.  It's all about building relationships with your legislators. 

"Many people think politics is all money.  In reality relationships and constituent activity are the true drivers of legislative change.  Fortunately, relationship building is what libraries do best - at Legislative Day and all year 'round." ~ Steven Conway, Government Relations Advisor WLA
