On May 13 & 14, 2008, hundreds of librarians and library supporters of all kinds are coming to Washington, DC, for an event like no other: National Library Legislative Day (NLLD). NLLD is a two-day event in which people who care about libraries participate in advocacy and issue training sessions, interact with Capitol Hill insiders, and visit Congressional member offices to ask Congress to pass legislation that supports libraries.What type of legislation affects teens? All types, but especially those aimed at teenagers and social networking sites. Check out the slideshow below featuring different popular social networking sites for ideas to promote NLDD @ your library.
