<tr><td><div><div>We notified you on December 18 that Congress recently passed the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, paving the way for the House and Senate Appropriations Committee to begin work on the FY 2014 Federal Appropriations Bill.</div>
<div><br>We’re now asking for one last push to make sure Congress knows that libraries need federal funding to continue to serve communities across the country.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>You are receiving this e-mail because your senator and/or representative currently sit on the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations Subcommittee and are currently working on this bill. Please call your U.S. Senator/U.S. Representative and encourage him or her to support libraries in the FY 2014 Federal Appropriations Bill.</div>
