Public libraries are asing for an increase of $6.2 million to the public library subsidy
Currently, the subsidy it $70.47 million.
With more than 4 million library card holder, the current funding is roughly $17 per library card holder.
Libraries encourage reading and lifelong learning with essential access to resources.
The need for public libraries is great, but funding cuts lead to fewer hours open and less materials.
Since 2011, our PA Forward initiative recognizes: “Literacy is POWER, libraries provide the fuel!”
Literacy starts with reading – and often that starts at the public library! WIll you please add $1.55 per library card holder ($6.2 million) so we can sustain libraries and reading materials in Pennsylvania?
