Library Advocacy Day is Wednesday, February 5th! Hundreds of library supporters will fill the halls of the Legislative Office Building in Albany to ask their legislators to Fund, Protect, and Empower New York State libraries. If you are unable to join us in Albany tomorrow, you can still make your voice heard.
