ALA Washington Office News & Media Archives

Last updated: March 3, 2009


District Dispatch

District Dispatch is the official blog of the ALA Washington Office. You can view press releases, library related legislation, updates from OGR and OITP, and virtually all vital information from the Washington Office.

The District Dispatch also features video and audio updates, advocacy Webinars, library grants, a podcast series featuring a variety of special guests, in addition to cross-linked posts from other ALA blogs and online resources. 

Sign up to receive e-mail notices about blog posts (you can customize your subscription by topic) or subscribe to the RSS  feed to make sure that you get all the news about library issues!

The ALAWON is now defunct and no longer in use. The ALAWON stood for ALA Washington Office Newsline, a free, irregular e-mail publication of the ALA Washington Office. The ALAWON served the ALA Washington Office and ALA members well for many years but has been replaced by the District Dispatch. As mentioned above, you can now subscribe to the District Dispatch, the primary news resource used to keep ALA members, library advocates, and the public in touch and up to date on major legislative issues in the Nation's Capital.

For past ALAWON issues, please see the ALAWON Archives.



Legislative Action Center

The Legislative Action Center (LAC) is ALA's pipeline to Capitol Hill. It features updates on all the important library-related legislation making its way through Congress. More importantly, it allows you to send an email or fax directly to your Members of Congress! Be sure to type in a personalized story or description about how the legislation you're writing about impacts your library. And don't hesitate to pick up the phone, too! Call the U.S. Capitol switchboard at 202-225-3121 to contact your Members of Congress

If you experience problems with or have questions about the LAC or ALA Washington Office advocacy, please email Kristin Murphy.
