Cuts in library funding are getting deeper and more widespread, making advocacy crucial to the survival of libraries. While it may be two months away, District Days are something everyone should be thinking about and planning for.<br>
For those unfamiliar with District Days, these are days that congressional representatives are on recess and are able to return to their home district. This year, the break is from August 8th through September 5<sup>th</sup>. <br>
<br>
During this time, representatives often hold town hall meetings, office hours, and meet with a variety of constituents to get their perspectives on current issues.<br>
<br>
This is an ideal time to bring your representatives into the library to see all the wonderful programming and services that libraries offer to teens. Some ideas to get your legislators involved at your library are to hold a library open house, involve them
in a summer reading contest or program, invite them say a few words at a library event or class, or sit in on a technology program where your teens work with the legislator(s) to set up a Flickr account or show them how to use Delicious.<br>
<br>
YALSA has resources available to help make it easy for you to be a part of District Days. For information, check out the
<a href="http://wikis.ala.org/yalsa/index.php/District_Days"><span style="color:navy">YALSA District Days wiki</span></a>. Visit the page often for additional news and resources, including a Google participation calendar and blog posts.<o:p></o:p></p>
