Friend,

In PA’s budget, we secured a $5 million increase in state funding for our public libraries. We fought hard for this investment because our libraries are so much more than just buildings full of books; they are the heartbeat of our communities.

For many, the library provides vital resources, like access to the internet to apply for a job. And for our communities, libraries are one of our few remaining "third spaces" where we can gather, connect, and combat isolation without having to spend a dime.

This new funding ensures our libraries can keep the lights on and continue serving everyone who walks through their doors. Libraries will be able to purchase more materials, such as e-books, children’s picture books, and board games, as well as help cover various library programs.

We need to show Harrisburg that we value these essential institutions. Will you sign the petition to show your support for PA’s public libraries?

Thank you,

Lindsey Williams
