The Illinois Library Association is hosting a series of three virtual Legislative Meetups on Wednesday, December 9; Thursday, December 10; and Wednesday, December 16. Each Meetup will be a one-hour program, from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m., designed to strengthen library advocacy efforts across Illinois.
The December 9 and 10 Meetups will connect library advocates with legislators and highlight issues affecting libraries across the state. The December 16 Meetup will focus on advocacy next steps, providing library advocates with information and guidance to continue engaging with their elected representatives.
The December 16 Meetup will not include legislators. Instead, it will emphasize practical advocacy next steps, helping participants build on the connections and information shared during the earlier Meetups, and identify ways to engage with their representatives on an ongoing basis.
These are free, live events and will not be recorded.
