Call to Action

We urge you to join us in advocating for increased state funding for public libraries. Increased funding ensures that CTLS can continue to provide essential services and expand our offerings to meet the evolving needs of our community. Your voice can make a difference in securing a brighter future for our public libraries. Please consider reaching out to your local state legislators and expressing the importance of prioritizing funding for these invaluable institutions. Feel free to use the wording in the letters linked below or share your own library story to stress the importance of libraries across the state.

Senator Art Haywood, Art.Haywood@pasenate.com | 215-517-1434 | Letter

Representative Napoleon Nelson, nnelson@pahouse.net | 215-572-5210 | Letter

Thank you for your support and commitment to the enrichment of our communities through public libraries.
