Now that so many of you have taken the time to call your U.S. Representatives about two library funding letters, it's time to turn our attention to the Senate. Please call both your U.S. Senators by April 24 and ask them to sign two letters supporting funding for libraries.

One letter supports funding for the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) in FY14. LSTA is the primary source of funding for libraries in the federal budget.
Use Mobile Commons to call your senators about LSTA<http://capwiz.com/ala/utr/1/NEEJSYXKTC/NFVNSYXUKD/9474473631>

The other letter supports funding for the Innovative Approaches to Literacy Grant in FY14. This grant is crucial because at least half of it would go to low-income school libraries to help update their books and materials (IAL-FY14<http://capwiz.com/ala/utr/1/NEEJSYXKTC/CFKRSYXUKE/9474473631> pdf)

For calling information and talking points visit the LAC<http://capwiz.com/ala/utr/1/NEEJSYXKTC/OWSBSYXUKF/9474473631>
