<div><div>This Tuesday and Wednesday, hundreds of library supporters from all across the country will convene in Washington DC for <a href="http://capwiz.com/ala/utr/1/NPMFTAOKJF/MPFNTAOKMA/9541705606" 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 <a href="http://capwiz.com/ala/utr/1/NPMFTAOKJF/CZLXTAOKMB/9541705606" target="_blank">calling or emailing Congress </a>as part of Virtual Library Legislative Day (VLLD). All week long (May 6-10), library supporters can let their legislators know just how important our nation’s libraries are to the communities they serve.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> This is an especially important time to speak up for libraries as Congress continues to make cuts that impact libraries. Here’s how to participate in Virtual Library Legislative Day:</div>
