<p class="MsoNormal">NLLD includes a briefing day (Monday) for librarians from all 50 states who convene in DC to represent their state and its libraries to their Congressional delegations. On Tuesday, everyone goes to the Hill to speak with their representative.
It’s a great way to advocate for federal funding—LSTA, ERate, ESSA, etc.—all of which effect us on the state level and to let Congress know what great work libraries do in their states/districts. We’d love to have you join us this year!<o:p></o:p></p>
