With a new administration and a new political climate in both the House and the Senate, this is a very critical and exciting time for us to get our message out to Congress. Our ALA colleagues in Washington are still finalizing the program, but promise to have some very useful information for us. We hope to have a strong California presence in Washington, D.C. this year for these very important congressional visits. Your participation will encourage others to attend.
Additional information is available on the ALA website here: http://www.ala.org/ala/aboutala/offices/wo/washevents/nlld/nlld2009.cfm
