The New York Library Association is urging library supporters to take action.
Write to your legislators and tell them that library funding is not negotiable.
Both the NYS Senate and NYS Assembly have released information from their budget bills and both versions have the same numbers included for libraries.
State Library Aid:
+$5M over Governor’s Executive Budget ($96.6M total)
State Library Construction Aid:
+$10M over Executive Budget ($24M total)
MTA Tax Reimbursement:
$1.3M
Having the same number in both bills puts us in very good position going into negotiations between the Senate, Assembly and Governor Cuomo but we still need your calls and letters of support..
