Legislation & Advocacy

Become a library advocate! This is where you start.

Learn about library-related legislative issues and help Wisconsin's libraries serve the state even better!

WLA's legislative agenda is set annually by the WLA Board of Directors based upon recommendations from the Library Development and Legislation Committee (LD&L). WLA works closely with the Wisconsin Educational Media & Technology Association on issues concerning school libraries. We also support the work of the American Library Association by appointing a Federal Legislative Advocate to monitor and communicate about those issues.

If you have any questions or concerns about the WLA's legislative program, please contact Lisa Strand, WLA Executive Director.
