Last week, we alerted you to four (two in each house) crucial "Dear Colleague" letters that your members of Congress can sign to support funding for libraries. As the deadline for these letters rapidly approaches, we really need your help in calling your legislators and asking for their signatures.

You can find talking points and calling information by visiting the Legislative Action Center<http://capwiz.com/ala/utr/1/JQECTSKSIN/NMJRTSKTBN/10250931476>:


  *   Call your representative to ask for support of LSTA and IAL<http://capwiz.com/ala/utr/1/JQECTSKSIN/ECWMTSKTBO/10250931476>


  *   Call your two senators to ask for support of LSTA and IAL<http://capwiz.com/ala/utr/1/JQECTSKSIN/FNNZTSKTBP/10250931476>


  *   Check to see who has signed these letters to date<http://capwiz.com/ala/utr/1/JQECTSKSIN/NHHDTSKTBQ/10250931476>

These letters demonstrate to members of the Appropriations Committee that library services are crucial for citizens across the country. Your calls only need to last about one minute and they make a huge difference. Thanks for your support!
