You Can Help! Let NYS Legislators Know Libraries are Important to You!
Recently Governor Paterson proposed a $2.4 million reduction in Library Aid in the 2010 - 2011 Executive Budget. This would be the 5th cut in less than two years and would bring Library Aid below 1998 levels. However, your efforts to help are making a difference! The Senate Majority in their recently released Budget Resolution has rejected the entire cut in Library Aid, while the Assembly Majority in their Budget Proposal calls for the restoration of $960,000 or 40% of the $2.4 million cut.The Senate and Assembly will be working over the next few weeks to resolve the differences. Library supporters all over the state have been telling the NYS Legislature how they feel about the proposed cuts and we are being heard! Please consider adding your voice to support libraries. See how you can help! Click on the VOTE button to send your message to your state legislator. It is critical that library advocates contact their state legislators and urge them to reach and agreement that provides the best level of funding for libraries possible.
For more information you can read what the New York State Library Association has had to say about the proposed cuts.
