Support Libraries. Write a Postcard. |
 | Your library needs your support! |
|
|
 |
Public libraries across the state are taking part in a coordinated postcard campaign to give people the chance to share with their federal elected officials why their library matters to them, their families, and their communities. |
|
How to participate:
Stop by your library and write a note on a provided postcard. Drop the completed postcard in the collection box. Postcards will be gathered and mailed together! The last day to write a postcard at your library is July 25. |
