We need every library supporter in Pioneer to take action now!
State budget negotiations are near completion and a final deal could be
reached by this weekend. Library Advocates need to remind their
Legislators and the Governor to restore the proposed $18 million or 18%
cut in Library Aid.
Please go to OWWL.org and by clicking on the Library
Advocate button you can send a fax/email to your legislators to remind
them not to forget about their commitments to restore Library Aid. If
these cuts go through, Library Aid will be reduced to $80.5 million a
level not seen since 1993.
Library usage has skyrocketed across the state and nation. Now is not
the time to cut public services that are in the greatest demand and
needed the most.
Libraries have already been cut twice last year, we have contributed our
share, now it is time for others to do their part to solve the state's
budget deficit.
Please forward this message to your friends, colleagues, trustees, etc.
We need to send at least 5,000 messages over the next few days.
Thank you!
