Libraries Deserve Same Increase as Schools

Urge NYS Legislature to Restore Library Funding

Please send a message to your state legislators asking them to recognize libraries as educational institutions deserving of the same percentage increase as schools.  Library Aid has been cut 23% since 2008 from $102 million to $79 million in 2011.  The Governor has proposed a 4% increase in School Aid.  Libraries deserve a similar increase.  Take Action!
