Write a commentOn Saturday Feb 23rd the Oswego Public Library will be holding its 1st Library Advocacy Day in its Community Room on the lower level of the library located at 120 East 2nd Street from 11 until 1.
We would like to invite you to participate in advocating for State Financial Support for libraries in New York State. Under the new proposed budget by Governor Cuomo New York State libraries face a 5 Million Dollar cut to State Library Aid, a 20 Million dollar cut to Library Construction Aid that assists libraries in taking care of their facilities and $0 for libraries to assist in the roll out of a completely online Census in 2020.
During this event we will be encouraging the general public to tour the library and see the services it provides, listen to stories told by Police Chief DeCaire and Councilman Bob Corradino, obtain library cards, sign postcards encouraging governmental support to libraries, and provide an opportunity for kids to draw posters of why a library is important to them. We hope to see you there. If you have any questions, please contact Carol Ferlito, Library Director at 315-341-5867.
