It seems that we still need a LOT of help! Please, click on the link and send a letter to your local State Assembly person and let them know that we need their support! The website will direct your email to appropriate people, and has a form letter that you can edit for a more personal touch!
What follows is a letter from the Executive Director of NYLA sent out to people who sign up for the Legislative Alerts.
The Education Budget Conference Committee met today at 1:45 pm and announced several agreements on restorations impacting small amounts of money, but nothing on libraries at this point. The process is moving along very quickly so time is running out.
I strongly urge you to spread the word and get your patrons, staff, friends etc to send letters to their state legislators, thanking the Senate for including $4.2 million in Library Aid restoration in their budget proposal and asking the Assembly to match the Senate’s request.
It will be very difficult for the Senate to keep the Library Aid restoration in the final budget proposal without the Assembly’s support.
