[ISLMA-Share] Good News on Illinois Senators and Library Support

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

According to the ALA tracker on Senators signing the "Dear Appropriator"
letters on library funding, Senator Dick Durbin has signed both letters!
Senator Duckworth has signed the LSTA letter but not the IAL letter.

Be sure to thank them for their support for libraries. Both senators have
Twitter accounts--Duckworth is @SenDuckworth and Durbin is
@SenatorDurbin--if you would like a quick and easy way to communicate.
Their staff will make note of thank you messages.

You can also ask Sen. Duckworth to support the IAL letter. As a freshman
senator, she may not be aware of the Innovation Approaches to Literacy
grants.

Thanks again to those who contacted their senators and congressmen. The
federal budget will take some time to come together and Congress will have
session days during the summer. Watch your email in case your action is
needed.
