Meet our Legislators! Build community and connect with decision makers. We are gathering at the State Capital on Tuesday, February 11, 2025 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. -- Please join us! It all starts with an orientation session. Then, at the State Library of Oregon in room 102, with books provided for them, Legislators will choose one to send to one of their local libraries. Now is the time to call your Senator and Representatives' offices and schedule an appointment for anytime on February 11. Appointments are usually in 10-15 minute slots. The OLA Library Development & Legislation Committee will provide you with issue briefs and talking points soon. You, a part of the professional library community, are the best people to talk with our state legislators and their staffers about library issues. After you've made your appointments, please use this spreadsheet https://tinyurl.com/yx3cvmsj to document the appointment time. The link to the spreadsheet is also available on the committee’s webpage: https://www.olaweb.org/ldlc If you are unable to attend in person we hope you will plan on contacting your Legislators through email or by phone and let us know this on the spreadsheet.

Keep this in mind, the Legislator’s offices easily accommodate 3 visitors.

AuthorJaime Thoreson Thanks to all who attended our first ever Oregon Presenter and Performer Fair at this year's OLA Conference! It was incredible to see that much talent in one space. I wanted to follow up with some resources for your libraries as you look to book. As a reminder, there are options for programs for all ages!
