Subject: endorse bill to improve library buildings?
============ Forwarded message ============

Hi Deborah, I hope you’re doing well.

 

I’m writing to ask if NCL can endorse a bill that we expect to be introduced soon. Sen. Reed is hoping to introduce, maybe as soon as this week, legislation to fund the modernization of library buildings and facilities. As you know, many
libraries host adult literacy classes and programs, but many library buildings are outdated, too small for current needs, or suffer other facilities problems. This funding would help provide modern libraries that can offer in-demand services like adult education.

 

A confidential draft of the bill is attached (subject to change). I’ve also attached our draft summary of the bill.

 

Can we list NCL as a supporter of the bill? (If I hear a more specific deadline/timeline for introduction, I’ll let you know.)

 

Thank you for considering!

 

Best,

Hi Deborah, I hope you’re doing well.

I’m writing to ask if NCL can endorse a bill that we expect to be
introduced soon. Sen. Reed is hoping to introduce, maybe as soon as this
week, legislation to fund the modernization of library buildings and
facilities. As you know, many libraries host adult literacy classes and
programs, but many library buildings are outdated, too small for current
needs, or suffer other facilities problems. This funding would help provide
modern libraries that can offer in-demand services like adult education.

A confidential draft of the bill is attached (subject to change). I’ve

Can we list NCL as a supporter of the bill? (If I hear a more specific
deadline/timeline for introduction, I’ll let you know.)

Thank you for considering!

Subject: endorse bill to improve library buildings?
============ Forwarded message ============

Hi Deborah, I hope you’re doing well.

I’m writing to ask if NCL can endorse a bill that we expect to be
introduced soon. Sen. Reed is hoping to introduce, maybe as soon as this
week, legislation to fund the modernization of library buildings and
facilities. As you know, many libraries host adult literacy classes and
programs, but many library buildings are outdated, too small for current
needs, or suffer other facilities problems. This funding would help provide
modern libraries that can offer in-demand services like adult education.

A confidential draft of the bill is attached (subject to change). I’ve
also attached our draft summary of the bill.

Can we list NCL as a supporter of the bill? (If I hear a more specific
deadline/timeline for introduction, I’ll let you know.)

Thank you for considering!

Best,

introduced soon. Sen. Reed is hoping to introduce, maybe as soon as this
week, legislation to fund the modernization of library buildings and
facilities. As you know, many libraries host adult literacy classes and
programs, but many library buildings are outdated, too small for current
needs, or suffer other facilities problems. This funding would help provide
modern libraries that can offer in-demand services like adult education.

A confidential draft of the bill is attached (subject to change). I’ve
also attached our draft summary of the bill.

Can we list NCL as a supporter of the bill? (If I hear a more specific
deadline/timeline for introduction, I’ll let you know.)

Thank you for considering!

Best,
