Visit your school library on Wednesday, February 10th! We need your comments about the reasons why you come to the library on that day. Libraries across Illinois are participating in this event, “Snapshot: One Day in the Life of Your Library.” Comments from you will be shared with state legislators who have already cut general revenue funding for state library and literacy grants by 50%!

How could this “cut in funding” affect you as a library user?

· Interlibrary loan service could be limited or eliminated.

· Purchasing new books could be reduced.

· Library programs and activities could be reduced/eliminated.

Remember!! Come in to the library on Wednesday to fill out a “comment” form. You make a difference!
