Keep the Lancaster Public Library Alive and Strong!


Don't let the government cut funds to libraries!
We want to continue providing the services and materials that you enjoy!
Help us!
Personal contact is needed—notes, emails, visits, and phone calls—with your State Senator, State Representative, and Governor Rendell. Our message remains the same:
1. Libraries are bursting at the seams serving the unemployed, their families, and others most in need. Don’t cut our funding and force us to close our doors for people who most depend on us.
2. Cutting state funding will cost Pennsylvania badly needed federal funds. Federal money pays for shared resources and incentives for local projects. Cuts already proposed could cost Pennsylvania anywhere from $1 million to $3.8 million in federal funding. Level funding will preserve Pennsylvania’s fair share, roughly $5.9 million.

Please send copies of your personal notes, personal letters and emails to:

Governor Ed Rendell
225 Main Capitol Building
Harrisburg, PA 17120

Libraries seriously rock the free world!
Let's keep it that way!
Always,
