Participate in TLA’s 2009 Legislative Day in Austin. Delegate training will be the evening of February 24 at the Hyatt at Lady Bird Lake. Attendee visits to  legislator offices on the 25th will be coordinated by delegate leaders, who will work with their team of library supporters to make all 150 state representatives and 31 senators aware of the needs of Texas libraries.

Register online: the form is one of the options listed through TLA’s online event registration system.

Reserve your hotel room: The TLA special rate for Feb. 24 and 25 is $139 for a single/double, $164 for triple, and $189 for a quad. The firm hotel deadline is January 23. To make a reservation, call the Hyatt (512/477-1234 or 800/223-1234) and ask for the Texas Library Association group rate.
