Dear AISLE Members--Please Read and Respond.  Lou Ann Jacobs AISLE
Legislation Function Rep.

Last month’s midterm election means a changing balance of power in the
House of Representatives. But before everything changes over at the start
of 2023, the current Congress must finish its business, and *important
library funding issues are on the line.*

*Congress must decide next week* on government funding, and this could be
our *last chance to increase funding* for crucial library programs before
the new Congress is sworn in. *Click below to tell your members of Congress
to #FundLibraries:*
Tell Congress to Fund Libraries!
<https://americanlibraryassociation.cmail19.com/t/i-l-qiuykuy-tdodukrlk-y/>

We need you to write to your members of Congress and tell them to support:

   - $20 million investment in library facilities funding – the first
   dedicated facilities funding
   <https://americanlibraryassociation.cmail19.com/t/i-l-qiuykuy-tdodukrlk-j/>
in
   26 years!
   - Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) funding at $201 million
   - Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL) funding at $32 million

Congress will wrap up a lot of crucial business in the post-election
period, and *we need your help* so that libraries are not left out. *Add
your voice* to our request, and together we can advocate for the value and
urgency of funding libraries in every community!
Speak Up for Library Funding!
