2012 MLA/MEMO Library Legislative Day
February 27-28, 2012 • Best Western Kelly Inn • St. Paul, MN
The 2012 MLA/MEMO Library Legislative Day is an opportunity for library advocates (you, your staff and board, your patrons, other library lovers) to gather at the Minnesota State Capitol to show support and raise awareness of issues for libraries.
Attendees should make appointments to meet as many of their Representatives and Senators as possible to remind them of the importance of libraries to the success of the communities in their district. The MLA/MEMO Platform and accompanying Talking Points will be available to help guide attendees in their advocacy.
More than anything, legislators need to see that their constituents value libraries and be reminded that they should, too.

5:00–5:30PM Registration
5:30–6:30PM Legislative Briefing (hors d’oeuvres will be served) - Tuesday, February 28, 2012
