Library News for February 11, 2011

Save Libraries!

TexansLoveLibraries

The first draft of the State's budget proposal for 2012-13  shows a 99% decrease in state funding for local library aid programs .

Contact your state representative and senator, the governor, and lieutenant governor and let them know this hurts our community! Write a letter to the editor about this issue! Come to the Capitol on Wednesday, February 16, and participate in Legislative Day — we’ll be gathering to let them know how much our libraries mean to our communities!

All Month Long: 
Tell us WHY you LOVE Your Library and you could win!
