Four college and research librarians who won ACRL scholarships to the 2018 National Library Legislative Day (NLLD) and ACRL leaders, including Immediate Past President Irene Herold and Executive Director Mary Ellen Davis, were hosted by ALA’s Washington Office for an in-depth briefing on the federal policymaking process. The meeting, which took place during National Library Legislative Day on May 8, focused on two case studies illustrating the unpredictability of the current political environment and the need for sustained, year-round advocacy—a common theme of the 2018 NLLD.
