starting with the senate! - For more information, click here -
<a href="http://bit.ly/2oldslm">http://bit.ly/2oldslm</a><br><br>Federal funding for libraries would be eliminated in the proposed
“Skinny Budget” from President Trump. Many of our elected
representatives are unaware of the work that librarians do for millions
of Americans every day. We need to show Congress that librarians are
providing critical services for communities and teach Congress about the
impact that librarians’ work has in our big cities and small towns.
Librarians come from all walks of life, backgrounds, and society, but
what they have in common is a passion for learning, innovation, and
making sure that knowledge is available, free of charge, and accessible
to everyone. Libraries are not just rooms filled with books; they
provide computers, cameras, kayaks and fishing equipment, 3D printers,
recording studios, video games, and even neckties for people who aren’t
able to get access anywhere else. This is the message that members of
Congress need desperately to hear and you can help us give them that message with this initiative!
