Based on discussions at the 12/5/2012 Library Development & Legislation committee meeting and a 1/4/2013 meeting of DPI staff and WLA and WEMTA representatives, our focus on Library Legislative Day will to be advocate for a restoration of the 10% cut in funding for public library systems funding that went into effort for the 2011-13 biennium.
