[LM_NET] New York State Only: FWD: [NYLINE] URGENT MESSAGE! ASSEMBLY TO VOTE ON SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET FOR LIBRARIES

[Sara Kelly Johns <sarakellyjohns@YAHOO.COM>]

This funding is needed to give us statewide leverage
for the NOVEL databases as well as many other
important programs. It only took seconds to get the
Albany office number for my senator using
vote-smart.org. Your phone call today is very, very
important for our students!

Just in case you don't get NYLINE...this is crucial.

I called my senator's office and told the staffer who
answered that I was well aware of her support of
libraries in our area, but that this would really
matter statewide and was on "pins and needles" waiting
for her support.

Crossing my fingers, Sara johns

RE: URGENT MESSAGE! ASSEMBLY TO VOTE ON SUPPLEMENTAL
BUDGET FOR LIBRARY
AID.

CONTACT SENATORS ***NOW***

Dear Library Colleagues and Supporters:

By the end of the year, it looked like the 2004/2005
budget was done,
and the library aid was not restored.  But it’s not
over ‘til it’s over…

On Friday we learned that today, Monday, January 10,
the Assembly will
vote on (and hopefully pass) a Supplemental Budget.
Library aid will be
included in this thanks to the determination of
Assemblywoman Sandy
Galef – and to all your advocacy efforts.

If the Assembly passes this AS EXPECTED, then the
Senate MUST act BEFORE
the Governor presents his 2005/2006 budget on January
18.  THEREFORE,
YOU must act ___now___, please!

Call or fax your Senator in his/her Albany Office and
ask him or her to
pass the Supplemental Budget. To locate contact
information for your
Senator, go to http://www.vote-smart.org/ and enter
your zip code.

Alternatively, you can use LOBBYNet on the NYLA
website
(http://www.nyla.org)  to send a fax.  [Note: We are
experiencing some
problems with the software for LOBBYNet, so if you
cannot get through
now, and cannot send a fax directly, please try
LOBBYNet later today.]

Forward this message to appropriate listservs, to
colleagues, friends,
relatives, library patrons.

Events of this past year have greatly increased the
visibility of
libraries and library systems. We have friends in both
the Assembly and
the Senate. Let them know we are counting on them.


Thank you!
