Our goals for the 2019 Legislative session can be summarized in: Books, Buildings, Broadband.

Tables

The first really good news is You Don’t Need to Do a Table!  Yes, you read it correctly. Due to the reduced space in the Rotunda there will be 15 tables per side, 15 on the House of Delegates side, and 15 on the Senate side.  Following is a list of the tables and if the information is available, the great folks working to develop them.  Each table will be duplicated on each side of the Rotunda. Remember we are following: Books, Buildings, Broadband! Everyone is encouraged to contact the developers of these tables and offer to help in anyway. Each table will also offer local library information up to a tri-fold size.

 

  • Literacy – Adult and Early – Denise Norris, South Charleston Public Library
  • STEM/Makerspace – Amy Stover - Raleigh County Public Library
  • Downloadables – WVREADS and Deli
  • Buildings – TBA – Parkersburg Wood County Public Library
  • Communities Connections – Beth Anderson – Burnsville Public Library
  • Academic Libraries – Academic Libraries Division
  • WVLA
  • WVLC
  • Law Libraries
  • Archives

 

WVLA Legislative Committee is very excited to offer these changes to our presentations.  The tables promise to be interactive, tactile and dynamic. There will be a hands-on activity at each table. Again, local library information will be available at each table.

 

Governor’s Cabinet and Conference Room

More exciting news!  WVLA has the Governor’s Cabinet and Conference Room, first floor of the Capitol, behind the Secretary of State’s office, reserved for Library Appreciation Day to offer an area for library supporters to assemble, gather information, and relax during the course of the day. You are asked to go there first. This will be a staging area with coffee and donuts, legislators’ packets may be picked up here, and WVLA guides will be on-site to help folks find their legislators’ offices. Todd Duncan, South Charleston Public Library will be on hand to help you with your questions.   Watch for WVLC staff members at the two public entrances to the Capitol with signs to direct you to the Governor’s Cabinet and Conference Room.

 

“Select A Book”

Even more exciting news!  WVLA will be offering “Select a Book” for legislators from 9-3 in the Rotunda on Library Appreciation Day.  Remember: Books, Buildings, Broadband!  Keeping with these goals WVLA will invite in writing every legislator to come to the Rotunda to “Select a Book.”  “Select a Book” is designed to encourage legislators to come to the Rotunda, visit with constituents, select books to be donated to libraries in their areas. “Select a Book” tables will be located on each side of the Rotunda at the “photo” ends of the halls for legislators to peruse a selection of books and sign a book plate for each book. Books will have a book plate for the legislator’s signature and can be picked up at the reception at the photo op in the Reading Room. Books not picked up at reception will be mailed to the proper library.  Attendance to the reception is encouraged to ensure if a legislator has selected a book for your library and that there is a representative from your library to accept it. Library Appreciation Day and “Select a Book” will be announced in session in each chamber.
