[Scla-list] FW: Support South Carolina Libraries!

[Gilson, Thomas V]

Hi everyone,

Many of you may have received an email similar to the one below asking
that you send a quick email to our state legislators and the governor to
remind them how important libraries are to the people of South Carolina
during this week's National Library Week celebration.  Here is our
CapWiz link that will enable you to easily send the email.

Thanks,

Dear Thomas,

Libraries across South Carolina need your support this week!

This week is National Library Week, a perfect time for you to send a
quick e-mail to you state legislators and governor to let them know how
important libraries are to you!

Libraries are in a perfect storm. They are busier than ever helping
families survive during these tough economic times, yet public, school,
and academic libraries are facing closures and elimination of librarians
and library workers-the people who help those with a job application,
teach 21st century skills, and nurture the love of reading in kids that
will serve them the rest of their lives.

State governments provide much needed funding for libraries to provide
public access to the Internet for everyone, databases for individuals
and small businesses, homework help, and much more. Without this
funding, libraries are in peril, and residents in South Carolina are
denied critical resources when they need them most.

Please send an e-mail to your governor and your representatives today
<http://capwiz.com/ala/utr/1/EHFTMILGSA/FZTGMIROQE/5004020936> , and
pass this message on to your friends and colleagues.

Thank you for advocating for libraries and library staff in South
Carolina.

Sincerely,

Michael Dowling
Director, Chapter Relations Office
American Library Association
