Greetings all,
Mark your calendars and join us in Springfield for Illinois Library Advocacy Day 2004 on April 21, 2004.
Sponsored by the Illinois Library Association, Illinois Library System Directors Organization, and the Illinois School Library Media Association. Hosted by the Illinois State Library.
REGISTRATION:
You can register for Illinois Library Advocacy Day online at: http://www.illinoislibrarysystems.info/advocacy/register.html
Pre-register for Illinois Advocacy Day using the online registration form. There is no cost to attend, but registration is important so that you will receive a packet of information before the event.
TRANSPORTATION:
Want to ride the bus from Chicago to Springfield the day of the event?
We're leaving at 5:45 AM SHARP (yikes that's early!) from the intersection of Wabash and Jackson (we'll be parked right in front of Starbucks--which thankfully will be open). We have to stop and pick library folks up in the Suburban Library System (SLS) in Burr Ridge and possibly the Heritage Trail Libraries System (HTLS) in Shorewood as well.
We'll leave Springfield for Chicagoland at (or near) 2:30pm with those same stops at SLS and again possibly HTLS on the way back to Chicago.
Here's what we'll do that day:
Illinois State Library Atrium. - Wednesday, April 21, 2004 10:00 a.m. Briefing Session Jesse White, Illinois Secretary of State and State Librarian Kip Kolkmeier, ILA Legislative Consultant Following the Briefing Session: Visits with Legislators
Now is the time to deliver the message about the role of libraries in the 21st century to policymakers in Springfield. Join your colleagues from academic, public, school, and special libraries in getting the message out and making the day a success. Now more than ever it's important for those who care about libraries to meet with lawmakers and make the case for support of library issues and funding.
