National Library Legislative Day


A team of 11 Coloradoans visited the capital to lobby for libraries on May 13-14 for National Library Legislative Day. We were able to meet with representatives from the offices of all our legislators and personally with both Senator Ken Salazar and Representative John Salazar. Pictured here from left to right are Camila Alire, incoming ALA President, Carolyn Coulter and Dee Vazquez from Pikes Peak Library District, Stevan Strain (Board member) and Rochelle Logan from Douglas County Libraries, Senator Ken Salazar, Gene Hainer, Colorado State Library Director, Shelley Walchak, Colorado Chapter Councilor, Jody Howard, incoming CAL President, John Wilkinson, City of Aspen Mayor and Library Board member, Elena Rosenfeld, High Plains Library District, and Paul Mascarenas, Adams State College. (Nancy Bolt is missing from this photo.) Please contact me if you have any interest in getting involved in lobbying for libraries in your districts.
