Prior to this year, the National Library Legislative Day never really held much importance for the author as a school library media specialist. However, this feeling changed after she attended her first National Library Legislative Day in May of 2008.

In this article, the author outlines the events during the National Library Legislative Day. She stresses that the event had a huge influence on her because she was able to see the legislative process in action.
