<tr><td><div><div>Next week on April 23 and 24, hundreds of library supporters from all across the country will convene in Washington DC for<a href="http://capwiz.com/ala/utr/1/FYMORPSNSC/ICSERPSOEY/8180573396" target="_blank"> National Library Legislative Day.</a> They will be briefed on legislative issues affecting libraries and will meet with their Members of Congress to discuss them.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Even if you can’t make it to DC, you can still advocate for libraries by calling or emailing Congress as part of <a href="http://capwiz.com/ala/utr/1/FYMORPSNSC/KWFRRPSOEZ/8180573396" target="_blank">Virtual Library Legislative Day.</a> All week long (April 23-27), library supporters can let their legislators know just how important our nation’s libraries are to the communities they serve.</div>
