Do you have a parent or community advocate that you would like to expose to the national legislative efforts? ALA and WHCLIST are looking for you! The ALA Washington Office in conjunction with the White House Conference on Library and Information Services Taskforce (WHCLIST) is pleased to announce that a monetary award has been created to help pay for a participant to attend National Library Legislative Day (NLLD) held annually in Washington DC. WHCLIST was an effective force in library advocacy nationally, statewide, and locally, following the White House Conferences of 1979 and 1991. Criteria: · The recipient should be a library supporter (trustee, Friend, general supporter), not a professional librarian. · Priority will be given to those who are first-time attendees to National Library Legislative Day. Recipient should include a letter of reference from a library director, school librarian, trustee board Chair, Friends Group Chair, or other library person. · Recipient must be willing to continue to advocate for library services. The Washington Office will contact the recipient's Senators and Member of Congress to announce the award. Two WHCLIST leaders and one member of the Washington Office staff will choose the recipient each year. ALA and WHCLIST are committed to ensuring that the American people get the best library services possible. These funds will be used to further those efforts. If you or someone you know might be interested, please send a letter explaining why you should be chosen, your letter of reference, and a completed NLLD registration form to: Rosalind Reynolds Government Relations Specialist 1615 New Hampshire Ave NW First Floor Washington, DC 20009 rreynolds@alawash.org 202-628-8419 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Sara Kelly Johns AASL 2007-08 President Associate Editor for AASL Community, Knowledge Quest Lake Placid Middle/High School LMC 34 School Street Lake Placid, NY 12946 518-523-2474, ext. 4132 FAX: 518-523-4861 johns@northnet.org SaraKJohns@aol.com <http://fromtheinsideout.blogspace.com> "Information is the currency of democracy." -- Thomas Jefferson -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
