Count me as a library activist- advocate. In the past three months I have been advocating for New Jersey's public libraries. Governor Christie initially wanted to cut library funding by 74%. It would have meant horrific cuts for our public libraries. I wrote e-mails and letters to my New Jersey representatives in the Senate and Assembly. Also I e-mailed and wrote to Governor Christie, the Senate Majority Speaker and the Assembly Majority Speaker.
On June 29th the Governor signed the budget that included $5 million in restored funding for library network aid. Hurrah!!!
