[CALIBK12] Legi-day rally on the Capitol steps!

[Connie Williams]

Hello everyone!

On Wednesday April 15th CSLA and CLA and CLTAC will hold our annual  
Legislative Day in Sacramento. We usually meet in the convention  
center for a briefing and then head out to our respective legislator  
meetings. This year, however, in celebration of National Library Week  
[NLW] we will hold a press conference and rally on the Capitol steps  
following the briefing. Senator Wolk will read a proclamation  
announcing NLW and then we will have a press conference. CLA president  
Barbara Roberts and I will answer questions from the press about  
public and school libraries. We NEED YOU to be there to be a visual  
presence for the press, the legislators and our communities.

We've always wanted to "march on the capitol" and now we have the  
opportunity to do so to highlight the positive impact that the library  
team has on student achievement and creating lifelong learners.

We can't make a lasting impact without YOU being there. Bring your  
friends, parents, students, but most importantly, bring yourself. Wear  
library shirts and your favorite library buttons.

Details about the caucus, times, locations and how to sign us to  
attend meetings with legislators are available at:  www.csla.net. The  
website has been updated and contains ALL the information you need.



See you there!

Connie
