The American Library Association National Library Legislation Day (May 4-5, Washington D.C.) is a wonderful opportunity for an ALAO member to meet with U.S. congressional representatives and their staff members, participate in ALA-sponsored workshops, and become involved as an advocate for academic libraries to Ohio representatives in Congress. Apply now for an ALAO travel stipend of $600 and join the Ohio delegation! DEADLINE to apply: April 3, 2015.
Please contact Joseph Straw at: js001@marietta.edu as soon as possible if you are interested in applying. Include a letter describing your advocacy activity with ALAO or other civic organizations, and the name and phone number of a reference that is familiar with with your advocacy efforts or interest.
