Virtual Library Legislative Day: May 14th

I am not a good lobbyist.  I always placed last in my Girl Scout Troop trying to sell cookies (emphasis on "trying"), I don't do a good job fundraising for anything, and I hate begging people for anything--even something I really believe in.  I don't do it well and don't get good results because of it.  As a result, I have learned over time to avoid "Library Leg Days" like the plague.  Until this year.

This year there is a virtual version of Library Leg Day.  Along with the hundreds of people in D.C. to support libraries, there will be thousands more participating virtually through a Virtual Library Legislative Day on May 14th.  It's nothing fancy, actually, and very simple.  Just phone, fax, and/or email members of Congress to tell them about the issues facing libraries and why supporting libraries is crucial.  You can read more and find links to email or fax legislators on the ALA webpage about Virtual Library Legislative Day.  There's even a nifty flier, though it would have been cool to create supporting web graphics as well, what with the emphasis on "virtual" (I had to screenshot this image).
