In response to Governor Rendell's proposed 2009-2010 budget cuts, the Pennsylvania Senate plans to cut funding for public libraries across the Commonwealth by 50%! If this proposal passes library facilities, hours, services, programming, materials and personnel will be drastically affected.
The services the Shaler North Hills Library provides can and do make a difference in people's lives. People count on the library for computer and Internet access, job-search assistance, educational programs, books and information as well as free entertainment - especially in hard economic times.
We need your help to avoid devastating funding cuts for all public libraries. NOW is the time to make your voice heard!
Please contact your state elected officials today and let them know what the library means to you. Encourage them to support public library funding for the Shaler North Hills Library and libraries across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Ask your neighbors, friends and family to do the same.
Be sure to add your personal story about how the Library provides value to you, your family, your business and your community.
Please let us know about your calls, letters and emails by copying us or providing information about your calls to shalerref@einetwork.net.
