The Final FY 2025 Budget is almost here – take action now to support library funding! The Senate and Assembly have both proposed $2.5 million in addition to the increase proposed by the Governor for operating aid, the aid that most directly impacts MHLS operations. Both houses also have proposed significant increases to the State Aid for Library Construction Program, far above what the Governor has proposed (Senate: $54 million; Assembly: $69 million). Both houses support the Governor’s proposal for $3 million to continue the NOVELny program. It is critical that we see these numbers in the final budget.
Please take a few moments to use this form and to encourage all the library supporters in your life to do the same.
