Colleagues, The TN Library Association and ALA need a few minutes of your time today to make a BIG impact on the immediate future of Libraries. TN has a heavy hitter in the Senate with Senator Alexander as Chair of the HELP committee, and HE NEEDS TO HEAR FROM US that "WE SUPPORT THE NOMINATION OF CROSBY KEMPER TO BE DIRECTOR OF IMLS." TLA'S executive board has already approved and sent a letter to the Senator, and we need you to add your voices by: 1. Clicking this link and following the directions: https://cqrcengage.com/ala/app/write-a-letter?0&engagementId=503437 2. Sharing a link to the letter in your social media and TAGGING Senator Alexander. Here's the link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DKTQ7mFeZdWT_qu6GVwllzY36kjz0OTQI0_MOpU4vQE/edit?usp=sharing That's it. That's all I'm asking you to do. It's not an understatement to say the Nation's Libraries and Museums need TN library advocates to come through for them at this time. Thanks in advance for taking action on this. All my best, *Sharon Kay Edwards, MSLS* Legislative Monitor, Tennessee Library Association Policy Corps Member, American Library Association (931) 619-7863, (931) 668-7010 ext. 2113
