Legislators LOVED the Real People. Real Dollars. Campaign! Each legislator was presented with a poster that showed over 70 Hudson Valley Families who had calculated their annual savings through library use. The visual message drove home that while in Albany they are talking about dollars in the millions, for legislators’ constituents this money has real impact on household budgets. THANK YOU to all participating libraries! You made a real impact! (Shown above: Senator Sue Serino with the MHLS contingent of advocates on Library Advocacy Day, March 1, 2017)
