Phil Abraham of the Vectre Corporation has been our liaison for several years. He keeps us aware of pending legislation affecting libraries and plans, along with the Legislative Committee, how to advance VLA's legislative agenda. As you may NOT know, VLA relies on donations to pay this retainer. Library Friends' Groups and some individual library trustees and directors have provided most of the funds. Linda Hahne, Executive Director VLA P.O. Box 8277 Norfolk, VA 23505 Make your check payable to VLA, and direct it to the Legislative Liaison fund.
Contributions are tax-deductible.
Thank you for your support. OUP offered four different discounts off the purchase price depending on how many sets were ordered by VLA members. I've done this several times, and learned a lot, as well as finding it very pleasant and affirmative. Samples of best practices and outstanding publications from various chapters of ALA will be on display. The last issue of the VLA Newsletter included a nomination form for the VLA awards for Honorary Life Membership, Trustee Library Award, Friends of the Library Award and the George Mason Award.
