An Opportunity to "Stand Up" for Wisconsin Libraries

WLA members play a prominent role in advocating for state library aid funding.  We'd like to extend an invitation for you to get involved - and all you have to do is show up and stand up!  WLA is advocating for several items in the proposed 2025-2027 state budget. Starting April 2, four public budget hearings with members of the Joint Finance Committee will take place in locations around the state.  All WLA members are invited to attend these public hearings.
