CELEBRATE YOUR LIBRARY RALLYHello Everyone - The state budget has impacted many non-profits in significant ways. Your public library system is no exception! The state budget that has been passed includes a 50% reduction in funding for libraries. This means: - reduced hours and branches closed on Sundays - reduced collection development - outreach to schools, daycares, community organizations will be significantly reduced WILL YOU STAND FOR THIS? NO! So what can you-do to make a difference? Please, COME TO THE RALLY ON JUNE 3 AT 4 PM ON THE STEPS OF THE MAIN LIBRARY IN OAKLAND! Take an hour off work to join us for this very important time to celebrate our library system and stand up and ask the state to restore full funding to libraries! Without you - it won't matter. Without libraries - well, everyone loses! "Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries." Whole Earth Catalog, 1969 Free Parking Between 3 and 5 pm for rally goers in the Museum parking lot. What a deal! Please consider taking the short amount a time to make a huge difference!
