Speak Up for Libraries!

News & Events

𝗟𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲’𝘀 𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿. Federal funding is at risk, and we cannot stay quiet. Speak up, take action, and tell your legislators why libraries matter!

How can you help? Come into the library and participate in the Speak Up for Libraries postcard campaign! Any time before July 25, stop by your local library to write a note in support of public libraries. We provide the postcards, the address labels to elected representatives, and the postage. Once you’ve filled out a postcard, drop it in the box or give it to a librarian, and we will handle mailing it!

Your support is more important than ever as access to some federally funded programs are in question. These postcards give people the chance to share why their library matters to them, their families, and their communities. Speak Up for Wisconsin libraries and libraries everywhere today!
