Support libraries, support MLSA

The Museum and Library Services Act of 2017 (S. 2271) has been introduced by Senators Jack Reed (D-RI), Susan Collins (R-ME), Thad Cochran (R-MS), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK). The 2017 MLSA reauthorizes the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), showing congressional support for the federal agency and the funding it administers (including LSTA). Please call your Senators and ask them to show their support of libraries by cosponsoring MLSA.
Ask Congress to restore Net Neutrality

In December, the FCC voted to gut the net neutrality protections that limit the power of internet service providers to slow websites, block mobile apps, or in any way control the information we access. On June 11, 2018, the FCC's net neutrality rules were repealed. Today, remind your Representatives that libraries support net neutrality, and that the open internet is a vital platform for free speech and intellectual freedom. Ask them to use the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to pass a "resolution of disapproval" reversing the FCC's vote."
Strengthen the Federal Depository Library Program

The bipartisan FDLP Modernization Act of 2018 (H.R. 5305) would update the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) to improve public access to government information.The act would provide greater flexibility, facilitate collaboration, streamline program requirements, and allow more libraries to participate in the FDLP, making the program's services more widely available to the public.
