HELP KEEP LIBRARIES SERVICES

Ok, here's the rallying cry. Go to We Love Western Mass Libraries on Facebook and become a fan. Not on Facebook? Go to http://friends.wmrls.org You'll find great ideas for helping us get the word out to the government that we need to reinstate funding for libraries. When the 6 regional libraries are consolidated into one entity, Western Mass is liable to get the short end of the stick. Make a noise - let the governor know we're important, too!
