Library Legislative Breakfasts - 2010:

Library Legislative Breakfasts are held annually in each state senatorial district of Western Massachusetts. The breakfasts provide library supporters with the opportunity to meet with their state Senators and Representatives both to thank them for past library support and to let the legislators know what challenges the libraries in each district are facing. Please attend the breakfast in your Senator's district and get to know your elected representatives!
