It's time to Speak Up for Libraries! Federal funding for libraries is at risk and your voice can make a difference. Visit mywisconsinlibrary.org to learn how you can help:
Fill out a postcard at your local library to send to legislators. Make a testimonial video sharing why your library matters. Call your representatives and tell them to support library funding. Use your library—every checkout, visit, and program attendance shows its value! |
