Recommended Sites - Advocacy for Libraries
 

During these tough economic times people are rediscovering the value of their local library. There is an increased need for job search training, Internet and computer access, and safe, family friendly gathering places. At the same time, libraries are facing cuts as counties and states struggle to allocate their resources. Now more than ever your library needs your support.
