PREPARING FOR LIBRARY LEGISLATIVE DAYNow that you’ve registered for Library Legislative Day, take time to prepare what you’ll say to your legislators. This is our chance to let legislators know how we’ve adapted and responded to our community needs during the pandemic—safely and effectively. More than ever, state support for libraries directly helps communities survive and thrive—we need to tell legislators how we’re helping people now, thanks to state and local support.

Connect what the patron says to a strategic priority of your library or how funding impacts the service they describe. Tips for filming:

Or, you can use a video editing software to produce a short message about your library.
