SENATE RESOLUTION CELEBRATES
“CALIFORNIA LIBRARY WEEK”
Senator Lois Wolk, a
long-standing library champion during her time in the California Legislature,
recently introduced a resolution on behalf of the California Library
Association (CLA), to celebrate “California
Library Week.” The official resolution, SCR 31, recognizes the
tremendous work of public libraries, library staff, and the California State
Library, and encourages libraries throughout the state to celebrate these
efforts during the week of April 12 through April 18, 2015.
(“California Library Week” also coincides with “National Library Week.”)
Joining author, Senator Wolk on the resolution, are co-authors,
Senators Jerry Hill, Carol Liu, and Jim Nielsen (author of the Public Library
Foundation legislation), and Assemblymen Mike Gatto and Rich Gordon.
“California Library Week” is a great time to consider inviting a
legislator to your library to tour your facility.
CLA would like to extend a special “thank” you to Senator Wolk
for introducing SCR 31.

Letters Needed in Support of Increased Library Funding in State Budget : : CLA Call To Action
Letters Needed in
Support of Increased Library Funding in State Budget
CLA -News From the Capitol: 3.31.2015
by Mike Dillon & Christina DiCaro, CLA Lobbyists
CLA is requesting your help in
writing to the members of the two subcommittees to urge their strong support of
a proposal to provide $11.5 million in new funding for three
very important library programs. The CLA Legislative Committee has
developed the following “Budget
Ask” for the 2015-16 Budget.
This “ask” was developed based on
feedback from your “Day in the District” visits with Legislators, where many of
you told your Senators and Assemblymembers that more funding for the California
Library Services Act is critical. Additionally, the roll-out of the
Governor’s Broadband proposal for libraries and his “AB 86” adult education
consortia reforms necessitate additional funding.
Specifically,
CLA is requesting $11.5 million in new funding:
· $4 million for the California
Library Services Act
· $2 million for the California library literacy program
· $5 million for connectivity grants,
to assist libraries in joining the new broadband network operated by the Corporation for Education Network
Initiatives in California (CENIC)
· $500K in administration costs and
staff for the CLSA and broadband project.
Please take a minute today to use the
following “sample
letter,” adapting it to reflect the specific needs of your own library or
programs, and mail or fax it to the following key legislators.
Note: Your letters should be received
by these subcommittee members
by April 15.
