Thank you for your help!

We asked you to reach out and share what you love about your library and so many of you did!  We are grateful for your support.  Our library (and community) is a wonderful place to be because of community members like you - your calls, emails, letters, and voice make a difference.

What's next?

How can you help?

The best way you can help your library right now is to use it!  Talk about the library with others, attend programs, volunteer. 

We will need your stories and voice again as the Public Library Fund continues its journey through the Statehouse.  Keep thinking about and sharing with each other and us your stories of  what the library means for you, your family, and your community.
