34th Annual National Library Legislative Day
Schedule of Events
|
| When: May 14, 2008
Where: Capitol Hill, Washington, D.C.
Metro stop: Union Station on the Red Line or Capitol South on the Orange Line
Description: The day will begin with a short briefing and send-off for participants. Congressional office visits follow the send-off where you distribute the background kits/issue folders, personalized with stories and descriptions of programs in your states.
We urge you to personalize your folders with handouts that describe your local programs and library stories to give to your Congressional representative-local stories are most persuasive to Congressional members.
**Any participant and Congressional folders that are not picked-up on Monday MUST be picked-up Tuesday at The Liaison (formerly the Holiday Inn on the Hill).
There will be a wrap-up session late in the day for state coordinators to discuss the visits and your experiences throughout the day followed by a Congressional Reception.
