Library funding in jeopardy
You may have seen articles about the library’s budget hearing before the City Council in the newspapers or on FATV on Wednesday night, but you may not realize how important your support for the library is for you.
A loss of certification due to budget cuts means:
·You will not be able to go into any library in Massachusetts to borrow materials,
·You will not be able to borrow materials through Interlibrary Loan and
·Grant supported programs, such as FLASH, a family literacy program, will be cut.
The library budget discussion was tabled until Wednesday, June 20 at 2:30 pm. Please show support for your public library by attending this important hearing at City Hall. You do not have to say or do anything. Your presence would send a positive message to the city council. If you cannot attend, please call your councilor and express your concern.
Thank you.
