Be Prepared for FLA Legislative Days

The Florida library community will gather at the Capital in Tallahassee on February 16 for Library Day. The event provides the opportunity for advocates to meet with legislators and tell them about Floridians’ and their communities’ needs for library service and about library issues.

This year FLA is providing two Library Day Orientation Webinars to help advocates get up to speed about what is going on in Tallahassee and the library advocacy message. Information about Library Day plans and logistics will also be provided to ensure that participants have a positive, productive, and fun day. Choose the session that is most convenient - Tuesday, February 9, from 10 to 10:45 or Thursday, February 11 from 2 to 2:45.

Even though the regular legislative session does not begin until March 2, the legislature is already busy with committee meetings and the decision making process about library funding is underway. Participating in an Orientation Webinar will help prepare you advocate effectively for Florida libraries.

To register to attend Library Day on February 16, go to http://www.flalib.org/advocacy.php
