Current Pa Budget discussions include the real possibility of a 50% cut or worse for public libraries so we need to rally our efforts to support level funding for public libraries which preserves vital federal dollars as well.
During the week of July 20‐24, 2009 we’re asking that library supporters call Governor Rendell’s office and the offices of their State Senator and State Representative to urge them to make libraries a priority for level funding.
More information resources can be found at the PaLA website, www.palibraries.org
You’ll find state budget updates, Talking Points, Frequently Asked Questions, Advocacy Soundbites and links to recent news stories that point out why libraries need level funding in the next budget.
Thank you for all of your hard work! We do not yet know when this state budget process might conclude so Call‐In Week will be an important way to keep the issue of library services and funding front and center.
Thank you for calling.
