With the deadline for the House "Dear Appropriator" letters set to April
3rd, we need as many library supporters as possible to call and email their
Representatives. Our ask is simple "please support federal library funding
and sign both the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) and the
Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL) "Dear Appropriator" letters.

The first "Dear Appropriator" letter asks the Committee to fully fund LSTA
in FY 2018 and the second does the same for IAL. When large numbers of
Members of Congress sign these letters, it sends a strong signal to the
House Appropriations Committee to reject requests to eliminate IMLS, and to
continue funding for LSTA and IAL at least at current levels.

Between LSTA and IAL, at least $210 million in federal library funding is
at risk.

gives you everything you need to identify your Member of Congress and to
tell him or her to sign the LSTA and IAL "Dear Appropriator" letters being
circulated to protect both of these critical programs in the FY 2018
federal budget.
