Thank you to the many members who braved the cold on Tuesday, December 19th to join us at the Local Blend to write out some postcards to legislators, telling them all about the incredible impact libraries have on their communities!

We had a blast! Between seeing both new and familiar faces and the yummy warm beverages (and of course, exciting library conversation) we were able to write out nearly 75 postcards! Our goal was to encourage our legislators to support funding for libraries, and also to support net neutrality (for more on net neutrality and why it’s important for libraries, check out this article).

Of course, we are already thinking ahead to our next postcard party, which will likely take place in the spring. In the meantime, if you’d like to send some postcards of your own, along with some library facts or just a positive story about something that happened at your library, stop in to CMLE HQ to pick up a postcard or two. We’ll even mail it for you! 🙂
