History
Texas Library Political Action Committee
A Brief History
TL-PAC, the first library-oriented political action committee in the
nation, was established in 1980. Since then TL-PAC has contributed more
than $293,000 to the campaigns of candidates for state representative,
state senator, lieutenant governor and governor.
TL-PAC is a non-partisan organization that contributes to the campaigns of legislators and candidates who support the interests and needs of Texas libraries and Texas library users. Recipients of TL-PAC funds are chosen by the executive board. Voting records and member recommendations are the sole criteria used by the board.
"TL-PAC proves to legislators that we care enough about
our libraries to do more than talk."
-- Dr. Joe McCord, TL-PAC Board Member and past TLA President
