From May 7 to 8 in the United States, library supporters will observe the 39th annual National Library Legislative Day. The American Library Association has released briefs on policies, legislation and issues affecting libraries to assist supporters to discuss library issues with their members of Congress.

Advocates can learn about the issues through a series of videos prepared by the ALA Washington Office. Issue briefs are also available for download as PDFs. Those of us who won’t travel to Washington, D.C. can consider reaching out to our elected U.S. officials through social media or calling in-district offices.
