1/19/2014

0 Comments

 
Calling all library supporters! We need your help. Oshawa Public Libraries' budget will be presented on Friday, January 31st the day is scheduled to begin at 9:00 AM but can go long. We would like to invite any supporters to come out and listen to the budget talks - but first, we need your action!

Please visit this online form and let them know how important Oshawa Public Library services are to you. If you don't know what to write, here's something you can copy and paste:

I am writing in support of  the Oshawa Public Libraries budget. The library offers services that are in align with the core values of Oshawa. The library budget needs to be supported by council for the families, marginalized members, and everyone in the great city of Oshawa.  Cuts to library funding are cuts to everyone in the community. Few would dispute the relevance of libraries to the quality of life in our city, but not many people realize the scope of service provided by Oshawa Public Libraries. In addition to circulating hundreds of thousands of books, DVDs, CDs, and other materials, our libraries present thousands of programs for everyone from kids to seniors, provide free Internet access to residents who do not have it in their home, deliver materials to those who cannot leave their homes, and answer thousands and thousands of questions about everything from homework assignments to how to find a job. Please support funding for Oshawa Public Libraries.
