Table results were posted and everyone was asked to review them. The categories included technology, workforce, demographics, government and funding, education and libraries. The trends and implications recorded by the table groups are attached. Do not ignore or dismiss the concerns of other constituents. For example, parents' perspectives on internet restrictions in public and school libraries for their children must be heard.
Parents are important constituents to legislators.
There is no entitlement. Not everyone will get all of the money they want. Librarians and their friends must speak with one voice. Competition for legislators' time and attention is intense. It is self-defeating for those in the room to work at odds.
