Library Advocacy @ the Wisconsin State Capitol


Library supporters have their day at the Capitol. (Waterloo-Marshall Courier-News, 3/30/2011)

Excerpt: Once a year, a day at the Capitol is set aside for the state’s librarians, library patrons and library board members to meet with their legislators and express their thoughts and concerns with the elected leaders. This year, members of the Wisconsin Library Association went to speak with their representatives March 22.

Marshall Community Library Director Diana Skalitzky attended the event to let Rep. Keith Ripp and Sen. Mark Miller know how the local library serves the community and why the repeal of maintenance of effort could cause problems.
