Hear Ye! Hear Ye!
I’ve just got word that Queen Elizabeth at the PA Renaissance Faire is quite upset that everyone who finished their reading logs for the summer reading program go to see a mere princess at Dutch Wonderland. She would like to have these very smart readers come to see her. She is the Queen after all. O.K .,so maybe that isn’t exactly how it happened, but we do have PA Renaissance Faire passes for those who completed their reading for the summer. Teens, if you have completed 28 hours of reading and have earned a pass to the laserdome, you may also have a pass to the PA Renaissance Faire. All children ages 6-12 who have completed their reading log and have done the extra reading to earn a ticket to Dutch Wonderland may also have a pass to the PA Renaissance Faire. You can only receive a pass if you have met the above criteria. So, hurry into the library and pick up your pass and go see the queen and all her medieval friends. But, remember supplies are limited!

Make Libraries a Priority!
As the state budget debate heats up, we need you - our patrons - to contact your local legislators and tell them to MAKE LIBRARIES A PRIORITY as they move to pass a state budget.
Here is how you can take part in the Pennsylvania Library Association Call-In:
Please call your State Representative (alphabetical list of State Reps: http://tinyurl.com/nyzlbv AND your State Senator (list of Senators: http://tinyurl.com/2bmjpk).
You may not have a chance to speak directly with him or her, but leaving a message with an aide is very effective.
Deliver this KEY MESSAGE: Libraries are more important than ever in this recession. They provide an economic safety net for the people in our state who are most vulnerable. Please make libraries one of your priorities in the next state budget. (For talking points: http://tinyurl.com/l5evt5.) Add a PERSONAL MESSAGE if you'd like, but keep it brief. Tell why the library is important to you, your family or your business.
The BOTTOM LINE is this: PLEASE SUPPORT LEVEL FUNDING FOR LIBRARIES.
