From Megan Cusick, ALA State Advocacy
Has your library implemented an interesting activity or service related to
nonpartisan voter education, voter registration, or services for voters?
Does your organization offer a resource that can be used by libraries in
those activities?
Would you like to showcase that work at ALA Annual in June, 2020?
As part of ALA's work on civic engagement, the Public Policy and Advocacy
Office (PPA) and Office for Diversity, Literacy and Outreach Services
(ODLOS), in partnership with the Committees on Legislation and Library
Advocacy, are pleased to host "Early and Often: Engaging Voters Throughout
the Election Cycle" at ALA Annual in June. We are accepting proposals for
lightning talks (5 minute presentations) featuring libraries and partner
organizations that offer resources, programming, or services to increase
voter engagement. Libraries of all types are encouraged to apply.
Proposals are due December 20 and can be submitted using
