[SCLA] ICYMI: Take Action - Library Funding Not Cuts!

[Kerri Souto]

Good Morning,

In case you missed it, NYLA sent out a call to action to library supporters as New York State’s budget negotiations begin to conclude.

From NYLA: “New York's leaders are in the final days of negotiations for the FY 2027 State Budget. NYLA is asking library advocates across the state to tell Governor Hochul and members of the Legislature that our libraries need funding increases, not cuts.”

Let’s do our part to make sure libraries remain a priority for our elected representatives.

Best,
Kerri
