Library advocates can best help achieve final enactment of LSTA by continuing to contact their own Senators with the consistent message: Enact the Library Services and Technology Act before Congress adjourns. Congress would like to go home Saturday, but Monday or Tuesday is more likely. In any case, only a few days are left. Senators should hear from constituents that final passage of LSTA is a must. Urge them to enact LSTA any way they can. But please keep up the contacts and the good work. _________________________________________________________________ ALAWON is a free, irregular publication of the American Library Association Washington Office.
