Good morning!

  1.  ALA today launched "ALA Liberty<http://www.ala.org/liberty>," a new website that contains tools libraries can use to host public forums that help Americans understand their privacy rights.

2.     The ALA Washington Office<http://www.ala.org/offices/wo> (contact information) wants to hear feedback from members and non-members: Toolkits, templates, trainings and technical assistance aren't helpful if they aren't targeted toward your specific interests and needs. We want to know about the policy and funding issues that interest you, any barriers you may face and the tactics and strategies you believe would be most effective in helping you move forward.  To help us understand all this better, please complete our short survey<https://advocacyassociates.wufoo.com/forms/libraries-influence-activities-opportunities/>.

Sample social media language:
