It’s Library Advocacy Season! It’s #LibraryAdvocacy season! We’re calling on library supporters from across the #SouthernTier – we need your help! Each year, library patrons write postcards to our state legislators telling them how important libraries are to our communities. Share your #LibraryLove and ask legislators to #FundLibraries! Visit your local library to fill out a postcard, or complete a postcard online. We’ll deliver them to legislators before the final budget is passed. #LibrariesAreForEveryone
