The link takes you to a quick form to enter your name and address, which
will identify who your legislators are, and then you can hit submit to send
the pre-filled message asking for support on our 3 priority issues. That
easy!! But...Feel free to add a sentence or two to the pre-filled message
to let your legislator know about the great things happening in your
library.



Thank you in advance for your support of our Libraries and of one another!!
