National Library Legislative Week 2020

National Library Legislative Week

In lieu of the usual on-site National Library Legislative Day, ALA has now planned a virtual National Library Legislative Week. Anyone may participate in advocacy training and activities. See the full schedule of events and more information at the National Library Legislative Day page.

 

From ALA:

Knowing we are all balancing screen time with multiple responsibilities at home, the week is a "design your own path" program based on your preference and availability. Tune in every day between May 4 and May 8 for live afternoon sessions and complete advocacy actions when you can. All trainings are free and recordings will be available on our website through May 31.
