MLA MSLA Legislative Day 2014 was a success this year with
over 230 library advocates attending and visiting their legislators. The Western Massachusetts Library Advocates’
bus was nearly full in spite of the iced roadways in the west. Forty-six legislators signed in for the
activities. Representative Paul Mark
gets high points driving in from Peru in the sleet and ice to make his
presentation.
The day’s highlight was the naming of Senator Stan Rosenberg
as Library Advocate of the Year.
Congratulations Stan!
Each year the Massachusetts Library Association (MLA) and
the Massachusetts School Library Association (MSLA) combine resources to bring
attention to library issues at the State House.
If you haven’t attended, plan to come next year. It’s a great chance to speak with your
legislators and to meet with like-minded colleagues.
