Advocacy

Connecticut libraries need you!

Speak Up! Show Up! Get the Facts!

 The Connecticut Library Association (CLA) is committed to standing up for all of CT’s libraries and the services they provide. We need you to be engaged in our advocacy efforts. It’s just not enough for CLA’s leadership to speak up. We need library leadership (directors and trustees), library staff, library Friends and library patrons to take a stand on behalf of CT’s libraries.

We are surveying the CLA, The CT Library Consortium and other allies to see if they know people who could have a decision-making role in the legislature.  We would greatly appreciate it if you would fill out this form and return it to Mary Etter.  Thank you!

Getting engaged now—signing up as a library advocate—means you’ll receive our action alerts and be able to make your voice heard for libraries.

Whether your library is directly affected by the borrowIT CT cuts or not, any cut to any State Library service impacts Connecticut libraries in critical ways. It is vitally important that the library community show their support for all state funded library services NOW, before we get further along in the budget process. We cannot be complacent.
