Librarians and library advocates have a key role to play in educating our communities about why libraries and librarians are essential in an information society. To be effective, they must speak loudly, clearly and with a unified voice. Democracy needs libraries, and libraries need advocates.

Minnesota's regional library systems are funded with state and federal dollars. It is critical that your legislators and members of Congress know the value you place upon information services. 
 
SELCO has created a financial summary for each House district in the SELCO region.  These handouts were created for the region's Senators and Representatives during Library Legislative Day 2011.  To access your district's summary, please follow the links below.
