Hello Lou!
Each year, the library community makes our voice heard for federal funding,
which libraries across the country rely on to sustain crucial programs.
Congress is crafting next year’s federal budget on a truncated timeline – *with
only one week for House members to show their support.*
*It’s time to take action. It’s time to #FundLibraries.*
Tell Congress to Fund Libraries!
<https://americanlibraryassociation.cmail19.com/t/i-l-qkthidl-tdzxjkir-y/>
The federal appropriations process began with the President’s proposed
budget, before moving on to the House and Senate. Library champions in both
chambers are leading our budget request letters and working hard to make
the case for increased library funding through the Library Services and
Technology Act (LSTA) and the Innovative Approaches to Literacy program
(IAL):
-
In the House, Reps. Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ) and Don Bacon (R-NE) are
leading the LSTA letter, and Reps. Jim McGovern (D-MA) and Bacon are
leading the IAL letter.
-
In the Senate, Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI) is leading both letters!
We are requesting funding of at least $232 for LSTA and $50 million for
IAL. Learn more about the campaign – and find tools to share this action –
at ALA’s #FundLibraries homepage
<https://americanlibraryassociation.cmail19.com/t/i-l-qkthidl-tdzxjkir-j/>!
We are incredibly grateful for the time, work, and dedication you have put
in to support libraries. Your efforts as advocates are responsible for some
of the most consequential wins for libraries in decades. Now stand with
libraries, library workers, and the communities they serve: take action to
#FundLibraries!
Speak Up for Library Funding!
