TIME TO TAKE ACTION AGAIN
WHEN: Today thru March 4th
MESSAGE: In your calls and letters please indicate why elimination of these programs would:
1. Destroy the cooperative lending and loaning system of books and materials in California,
2. Could lead to a system where non-residents are denied access to library materials or asked to pay for a library card costing upwards of $100,
3. Would put in jeopardy almost $17 million in corresponding federal funds,
4. Deny literacy services to more than 20,000 adult learners annually who potentially would have no other alternative for seeking these services locally, and
5. Denies local assistance dollars for libraries who have already suffered mightily with the state and local funding cuts over the past few years
(Please refer to any of this issue above that is most important to your partaker area of interest)
