Senate Action Alert for March 1!

Please contact K-12 Education subcommittee members of the Senate Finance Committee.

The message is the House will probably approve $1 million for school libraries next week, but that is not enough.  While our long term goal is $25 per pupil, we'd like to increase the House number to $5 million (approximately 1/4 of our goal).

House Action Alert for March 1!
We need an amendment offered by a House member to increase the $1 million dollars for school libraries that is in the Ways & Means budget to $5 million dollars.

Alert #2

The House will begin debating the budget during the week of Feb. 20. Please make sure that you've contacted your House member to let them know what an important impact funding for library books will make at your school.
