As part of our ongoing advocacy efforts, and in advance of our March 5th Library Advocacy Day  visit to Albany, it would be very helpful for library users to take action in support of full funding for libraries. Go to  4CLS.org and click the red, white and blue “Become a Library Advocate” button at the bottom of the home page. It will take you to the New York Library Association’s Online Advocacy Center where you’ll see “Urge Them to Support Library Aid.”  Just click the “Take Action” button, then scroll down and click “Send Message.” It’s a very quick and easy way to send an important message to your elected officials. Your voice matters and it will have an impact on them. Please take action today to support full funding for libraries.

The library is open today, Saturday Feb. 9, but the book sale has been cancelled due to the snow.
