We're at the mid point of #LAD25, which means it's time to Rally in The Well! From our member, Ramapo Catskill Library System: "Seeing so many passionate voices come together for libraries is truly special. Stronger libraries mean stronger communities!"

Is it lunchtime yet? Not quite! First, we're meeting with Assemblymember Paula Elaine Kay.
Over half of NY’s libraries are 60+ years old! Investments, like our $175m ask for Construction Aid, allow libraries to invest in energy-efficiency and support local construction industries! #FundLibraries

11AM finds our #LAD25 team with Assemblymembers Chris Tague and Aron Wieder!
Our ask of $176.8m in Operating Aid will support NYS libraries and improve the lives of residents of all ages, abilities, and economic status. Funding for school/public/academic/ libraries and their systems is essential!
