Library Funding Threatened

State Aid funding for public libraries in Florida may be completely cut if the recommendations of the Florida Senate and House go through.  Many libraries run literacy programs, and most of our volunteer literacy programs use the library for tutoring.  This could mean that programs and open hours could be cut impacting our volunteer programs.  Read the link below for details to see what you can do now.

Florida's rural libraries, especially, could be severely hurt.  In some cases State Aid is half or 100% of their funding.
