Library Legislative Day is Even More Important in 2021!

Virtual sessions: April 6, 7, & 8

 

Massachusetts Library Association and Massachusetts School Library Association invite you to join in virtual sessions this April to connect library advocacy and your State Senators and  Representatives.

Four, MLA/MSLA Library Legislative Day, online sessions will be offered:

April 6, 10:00 a.m. – featuring Western Massachusetts Library Advocates

April 7, 10:00 a.m. – featuring Central Massachusetts Library Advocates

April 8, 10:00 a.m. – featuring libraries from Boston, Metrowest, and North of Boston

April 8, 11:30 a.m. – featuring libraries from South of Boston, the Cape and Islands 

You are encouraged to join a session that corresponds with your geographic area as we are trying to match one or more Library Caucus members from each area to participate in that session. Can’t make your preferred session? Feel free to join another – you’ll get the same overall briefing and talking points on the Legislative Agenda.

 1-hour sessions will include:

  •  Welcome and overview
