Call for DCLA Volunteers to help with the National Library Legislative Day events in May!

We are looking for energetic volunteers to help with this great event that is co-sponsored by DCLA and the local ALA office. DCLA contributes time to help get the event packets ready for the delegates on Saturday, May 10 from 9:30 til noon. We also need one or two volunteers to help distribute the packets on Tuesday, May 13 and 3 o4 4 volunteers to help with meeting/greeting at the closing reception on the Hill on Wednesday, May 14.

Here are the specifics:

Saturday morning, May 10 - from 9:00 til noon, breakfast is provided. We will be gathering all the information together for the state delegates. We need about 9 or 10 volunteers for this event.

Tuesday morning, May 13 from 8am til 10am. We will be passing out the state information packets. We need 1-2 volunteers for this date at the event hotel.

Wednesday evening, May 14 from 5pm til 7pm. We will be meeting and greeting delegates as they finish an exhausting day of meeting with their Congress members. The location of the reception is the Senate Building on the Hill.

If you are interested in volunteering for any of these events, please let Barbara Folensbee. They are all great ways to give support to ALA's efforts to raise the awareness of Congress concerning the issues that face libraries today and your participation is greatly appreciated!
