[Michlib-l] From the ALA Washington Office

[Christine Hage]

On December 9, 2014, the American Library Association’s Washington Office
will launch a new and reinvigorated *District Dispatch* blog that will
highlight federal legislation and policy news that impacts libraries. The
new *District Dispatch* makes it easier for library advocates to find
important information policy news, search articles, share news and “drill
down” further into national policy issues. The new *District Dispatch* also
includes a “Breaking News” feature that makes it easier for advocates to
find the most current and critical information they need to take action at
the national level. Finally, the new blog makes it easier for library staff
to find free policy-related webinars.



As we head into a new Congress, ALA members are encouraged to subscribe to
the *District Dispatch *to keep abreast of relevant library policy news,
such as federal funding opportunities, copyright reform, open access
legislation, Federal Communications Commission proceedings and much more.
Visit the blog today: http://www.districtdispatch.org.



Thanks! Best, Larra
