ALAO Legislative Advocate Network
All ALAO members are eligible to be members of the ALAO Legislative Advocate Network. Advocates serve as grassroots supporters and voices for specific legislative issues of importance to academic libraries and librarians.
Activities may include:
To join, send a message to Ann M. Watson (watsona@denison.edu)

- Inform colleagues about legislative alerts and encourage them to participate in contacting legislators
- Share stories or successes about your library with the ALA Washington office.
- Participate in ALA's Legislative Day by applying for the ALAO Legislative Advocate Travel Award
