<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">We are very much looking forward to
<b>Library Day in Tallahassee on January 22</b>. By now I hope you’ve all made plans to be at the Capitol to help ensure we continue moving library issues forward in the State Legislature. If you are unable to attend yourself my hope is that a colleague,
Friends of the Library, or other representation from your area is there to visit with your district’s Senators and Representatives. Every visit makes a difference. Each person in attendance will have an impact. Our influence is only as strong as our collective
presence and the effort you make to be there really does matter! <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The forwarded message below was sent earlier in December if you need the links back to resources, schedules, or registration. Also, I was unable to attend the Public Library Directors meeting in November and
missed seeing you all. However, I was informed that a document circulated that will be immensely helpful to our advocacy efforts during the Legislative Session.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
