As we know from seeing it in our own backyard, libraries throughout the country are under attack. On the federal level, the House Appropriations Committee passed a budget with a 15% cut in federal library funding. The ALA has a website that will find your representative and senators and email them to express your support for libraries and opposition to this cut in funding: FundLibraries. You can also contact them directly via email or phone here:
If you are outside Erie County, PA you can locate your representative at House.gov and senators at Senate.gov. Let our lawmakers know that our libraries are valuable to our community and that we oppose any cuts in funding.
“Whatever the cost of our libraries, the price is cheap compared to that of an ignorant nation.”
~Walter Cronkite
