The New York Library Association is challenging library trustees write letters to the editor in support of state library aid over the next week. They have even drafted a letter to help you get started: http://bit.ly/2lCTobmPlease feel free to edit the letter as much or as little as you see fit. (Local details increase the value to local readers.) The time to act is NOW – please submit your letter today, tomorrow or anytime within the next week. This effort matters – the Governor has regional representatives that monitor all local publications – and report back. Let’s make sure that libraries appear in every one of the next round of regional reports. Should your letter be published – please be sure to let us know: rsmith@midhudson.org
