<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Libraries can invite their members of Congress into their library to see first-hand all the great ways libraries create opportunities for teens to keep learning over the summer.
They could also schedule a meeting with the VIPs at their local office. YALSA's Legislation Committee has created some great tips and resources to help libraries participate in “District Days.”
