We were pleased to have a great turnout for our media event on the Capitol steps, and to have coverage by the Gannett News Service and Capitol Weekly. Please see video from our press conference on CLA's YouTube page. Your local media may also be interested in this story, so we have prepared a draft media release for use by your library jurisdiction if appropriate. The draft release can be found here. Please feel free to customize the release to reflect your library services and the needs of your community.
If you elect to use the release and as a result, receive media coverage, CLA would love to hear about it. Please send any relevant information to Richard Berta at rberta@cla-net.org.
Lastly, to help us plan future Library Legislative Days, we are asking attendees to complete a brief online survey. Thank you again for your participation!
