“The impact of the closures will risk denying communities access to the information, literacy tools, and resources they depend on. Libraries are cornerstones of civic life and education in many areas of our state.”

Books are good for us!

“Whoever you are, wherever you are, I hope you'll consider standing against the Trump administration tomorrow, even if just for a few hours This country does not belong to him. It belongs to us. Let's stand together for a better future.”
