If this isn’t just crap to get me to buy an expensive book to pump up my ego and you guys really voted for me, I appreciate it; however, I told them I did not want to be included unless they used “Library & Information Science.” For me to be called a professor of information science is not only wrong, but sort of hilarious. Just wanted you to know. Mary K.

Gslisadjuncts thank you

Thanks to all of you who came to my party and/or helped pay for a gift. I understand a gift certificate from my favorite art gallery in Vancouver, Coastal Peoples http://www.coastalpeoples.com is en route. My sister and friends had a good time, too. I appreciate it and will miss you, but you’re invited to come see me and the dogs and art collection when the spirit moves you and I am home (please check first at 631-286-4255). Unfortunately, some people gave me wine, but there were no cards in the bags, so a special thanks to these anonymous fellow winos. Take care, Mary K. Chelton

There’s never enough money to go around, and Members are always looking for programs to "zero out" so they can reallocate those budgets to their pet projects. Right now, the real keys to saving library funding from the chopping block – particularly the Library Services Technology Act (LSTA) and Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL) programs — are the members of the powerful House and Senate Appropriations Committees. Your Representative in the House and two Senators have influence with those Committee members, so it’s important that your Members let the Appropriations Committee know of their support for continued library funding. > > The best way for them to do that is to sign what we call "Dear Appropriator" letters that three Members of Congress who are huge library champions have drafted to the members of the Appropriations Committees in the House and Senate. The more Members of Congress that we can get to sign these "Dear Appropriator" letters, the better the chance of preserving and securing real money for libraries. > > But there’s a catch – Members of Congress generally only add their names to "Dear Appropriator" letters if they hear from their own constituents. Right now, it’s your Senators and Representative in the House who needs to sign LSTA and IAL "Dear Appropriator" letters. > > With the March 20 deadline for signatures fast approaching, it’s urgent that you email or phone your own Senators and Representative today by calling (202) 225-3121 and ask the Operator to connect you to the offices of your Seantors and Representative (you can find out who that is easily through the links below). Ask the person who answers to ask their boss to add their name to "Dear Appropriator" letters supporting LSTA and IAL currently being circulated by our champions in Congress. To see whether your Members of Congress signed the letters last year, view the FY 2015 Funding Letter Signees document (pdf). If so, please be sure to thank and remind them of that when you email or call! > > > “DEAR APPROPRIATOR” LETTERS … > > > > > LSTA > IAL > BACKGROUND INFORMATION > LSTA is the only source of funding for libraries in the federal budget. The bulk of this funding is returned to states through a population-based grant program through the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). Libraries use LSTA funds to, among other things, build and maintain 21st century collections that facilitate employment and entrepreneurship, community engagement, and individual empowerment. For more information on LSTA, check out this document LSTA Background and Ask (pdf). > IAL is the only federal program supporting literacy for underserved school libraries and has become the primary source for federal funding for school library materials. Focusing on low income schools, these funds help many schools bring their school libraries up to standard.
