Currently, 21 senators have signed the “Dear Colleague” letter supporting
library funding.  Fortunately, the deadline for signing was extended
to *Friday,
June 10*.  Please continue to call your senators at (202) 224-3121 for one
final push to get both of your senators to sign this letter.  After they
agree to sign on, please tell them to contact Elyse Wasch in Senator Reed’s
office if they are Democrats or Matthew Hussey in Senator Snowe’s office if
they are Republicans.

Thank you to everyone who has already called their senators, but your help
is still needed.

Below is a list of the senators who have already signed the letter.  If you
do not see your senators’ names on this list, please call him or her
immediately and encourage him or her to sign this letter. Tell them about
some of the wonderful programs your public or school library provides in
your state.  Explain to them that libraries took major cuts in FY 2011 – not
only on the federal level but also on the state and local levels as well.
Without increased FY 2012 funding, libraries will be unable to continue to
provide communities with essential services.
