Lobby Day & Legislative Priorities
Each year the Government Affairs Committee (GAC) releases the Iowa Library Association's Legislative Priorities as approved by membership during their annual meeting at annual conference.
Each year in February/March, the Iowa Library Association holds a reception in the State Capitol's Law Library. This time is an opportunity for members to reach out to legislators in person and discuss library-relevant issues and legislation that impacts library funding. Check back on our website at the beginning of the year for dates and details.
