Click here     Hello Elizabeth! Last month’s midterm election means a changing balance of power in the House of Representatives. But before everything changes over at the start of 2023, the current Congress must finish its business, and important library funding issues are on the line. Congress must decide next week on government funding, and this could be our last chance to increase funding for crucial library programs before the new Congress is sworn in. Click below to tell your members of Congress to #FundLibraries: Tell Congress to Fund Libraries! We need you to write to your members of Congress and tell them to support: $20 million investment in library facilities funding – the first dedicated facilities funding in 26 years! Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) funding at $201 million Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL) funding at $32 million Congress will wrap up a lot of crucial business in the post-election period, and we need your help so that libraries are not left out. Add your voice to our request, and together we can advocate for the value and urgency of funding libraries in every community! Speak Up for Library Funding! Thank you for all you do for libraries!   ALA Public Policy & Advocacy Team      If you haven't yet, please click here to sign up to receive update from the Unite Against Book Bans campaign!      Contact Us ALA Public Policy & Advocacy Office 1615 New Hampshire Ave NW, 1st Floor Washington, D.C. 20009-2520 Phone: (202) 628-8410 Subscribe Ready to take action?
