WE NEED YOU TO CALL, FAX OR VISIT OUR LOCAL SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES.

They are likely to be in their local offices until June 1, and then back in Harrisburg. Their local offices will continue to have staff available.

If you send your fax from one of our libraries, we will not charge you for this service!

Don’t be afraid to call, the people who answer the phone are very nice! It is their job to keep track of how many people call in. Your call will not be ignored.

What to say:

• Ask them to keep public library funding at the 2008 - 2009 levels

• Remind them that budget cuts will reduce library services to those who need libraries the most – children, the unemployed, families on limited budgets, senior citizens, etc.

Who to call, fax or visit:

• Everybody should contact State Senator John Gordner.

  • Phone: 570-743-1918 (Shamokin Dam), 717-787-8928 (Harrisburg)

  • Fax: 570-784-9379

  • Via the web at http://www.senatorgordner.com/contact.htm

• Select which representatives to call, based upon your location (or call them all, because they all represent Snyder County!)
