Your voice counts

Libraries are essential to our communities, our schools and our college campuses.  Libraries serve people of all ages and backgrounds and at every phase of their learning development.  No other state funded service serves so many people for so few dollars. Library Aid amounts to less than one tenth of one percent of the State Budget, and yet the libraries and library systems this funding supports serve over 14 million New Yorkers.

Send a letter to your elected representatives in support of this funding restoration

Lisa Harrington's Donation Page

"Regardless of your age. Regardless of any family history you may have. I want everyone to take their breast care seriously. Early detection is key. I want every woman to have the opportunity to get those monograms. For all of these reasons I am walking in this 3 day event. I will walk to pay it back for all of those who raised money before me for research that has made my treatment that much more successful. I am raising money to pay it forward for research to finally put an end breast cancer."

I love this woman.
