GLA Library Day @ the Capitol - 2/21/2017

Each year, the Georgia Library Association presents our legislators with a print that highlights a Georgia location, created by pointillist artist Debi Davis. A big thank you to Mumford Books, which generously sponsors this project.

This year, we'll be delivering one print to the office of each elected official on Tuesday, February 21st. It's another chance to talk libraries at the Capitol.

There are two locations with offices: the Capitol and the Coverdell building across the street. In addition to the 236 representatives and senators, there are other officers in the Capitol (Secretary of State, Secretary of the Senate, the Governor's Office, etc.) who will also be getting prints. We need your help!

Tuesday, February 21st:
We'll be meeting at 10:30 am that morning, and hope to be done by noon! If you're able to help out, please contact Wendy Cornelisen at wcornelisen@georgialibraries.org

Public Library Day at the Capitol Sponsored by Georgia Council of Public Libraries

“Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries.”
 
Georgia’s public libraries circulate millions of printed books, magazines, DVDs, e-books, and much more! Public libraries provide access to information, programming, computers and the Internet every day.

Nothing could be more Georgian than public library service… … except perhaps Varsity Hot Dogs!

Georgia Council of Public Libraries invites you to celebrate libraries with a Varsity Dog.

Wednesday, February 8, 2017 Room 230 CAPITOL 11:00am-1:00pm 

THE FINE PRINT:
Varsity Hats, optional! 
Excitement about what our public libraries are doing around the state, required! 


Thank You for Supporting Georgia’s Libraries! 

GLA Library Day at the Capitol Call for Volunteers

Each year, the Georgia Library Association presents our legislators with a Debi Davis print. A big thank you to Mumford Books, which generously sponsors this project.

This year, we'll be delivering one print for each elected official and small candy bag for each staff member on Tuesday, February 16th. It's another chance to talk libraries at the Gold Dome. There are two locations with offices: the Capitol and the Coverdell building across the street. In addition to the 236 representatives and senators, there are other officers in the Capitol (Secretary of State, Secretary of the Senate, the Governor's Office, etc.) who will also be getting prints. We need your help: 

Monday, February 15:

Creating the candy bags to give staff members. Each office has at least 1 staff member; some have more. We'll need at least 500 bags. The more the merrier! Drop by from 4-7 pm at the GPLS office at 1800 Century Place NE, Suite 150.

Tuesday, February 16:

We need a minimum of 4 people: 2 for the Coverdell building, one for the Capitol, and one to stay with the prints in the hallway. It would go a lot faster with 10 or 15 people! Meeting at 10:30 am at the Capitol.

If you'd like to volunteer for one (or both!) of these events please fill out this form: http://goo.gl/forms/xZQ7X3FD5e
