WLMA Legislative Wrap-up Meeting

The presidents (present, past, & elect), along with the advocacy committee chair, and our legislative liaison met at the Urban Onion in Olympia to discuss the $4.09 per student for libraries the legislature allocated in the supplemental budget. Marianne is preparing a brochure to let librarians know about the money and its uses. We also talked about how to be included in the definition of basic education in light of the work that the state Basic Education Task Force is starting. I left feeling hopeful about future WLMA advocacy work.
