FAQs Which legislators will I be meeting with? Your state coordinators are scheduling meetings. Who is my state coordinator? See the list at rdinators rdinators

FAQs How do you choose the “asks”? Many issues are important to the varied divisions of the ALA. We base asks on what’s relevant in Congress right now, to ensure that our voice is magnified as much as possible Why don’t we have the details on the “asks” yet? Congress is very mercurial (word of the day!) The ask will change from day to day. One day it will be “vote against the House bill.” The next day someone may introduce an amendment we like and it will be “vote for the such-and-such amendment.” That’s why the briefing day is so important.

Checklist  Identify YOUR legislators at the ALA Action Center  Visit their individual websites at  or  Check the ALA Legislative Score Cards Check the ALA Legislative Score Cards  Sign up for their e-newsletters  Connect via social media (“Like” their Facebook pages, follow them on Twitter and check out their YouTube channels)  Use the legislator information form to capture that informationlegislator information form  Create a one-pager that tells the economic, social, special outreach story in YOUR areaone-pager  Funding / Resources – Your Connection to the Federal Partnership LSTA Example  Review Issue Briefs to be familiar with the basics
