How you can help

Let your elected representatives know you value your public library services and these services should be supported adequately by government. But being successful requires “knocking on the right door”.  When contacting your representative make sure you tell them why the library is important to you, your family and your community. A real life example goes a long way.

Here are some key contacts and their areas of responsibility:
