On Wednesday April, 22, the U.S. House of Representatives will consider a
resolution in support of National Library Week. Every Member of Congress
will have an opportunity to go to the House floor and make a statement on
the value of libraries.

Please ask your representative to speak in support of the National Library
Week Resolution.  In addition to drawing from the ALA’s discussion
points<http://www.wo.ala.org/districtdispatch/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/construction-and-the-stimulus-package-_3_.pdf>,
tell your representatives stories  about your local libraries and how you
are serving your communities. You might include some facts about your
library or any interesting newspaper articles or some recent statistics
about increased library usage to help your representative prepare a
statement to read on the House floor.

ALA Office of Government Relations
