The 2026 Statehouse Day will occur on Tuesday, February 3, 2026--and it's receiving a makeover. We will meet with our legislators, promote Indiana libraries, share our library story, and speak about ILF's legislative priorities.

This year you will be asked to make appointments with your legislators (those that represent both your library district and where you live) using the guide linked below generated by our lobbyists from Taft Public Affairs. Making your own appointments empowers you to connect with your legislator personally and helps to establish a relationship that can aid you and your library in the future. If you have any problems making those appointments, please reach out to Chris Bandy at Taft by email. More information about the day will be forthcoming and any other training or guidelines will be conveyed to you before February 3rd.
