Library Advocacy Day is here! #LAD24 is a coordinated day of action as library champions across NY come together in Albany to make sure our voices are heard. Let them know just how important libraries are to our communities by calling, writing or tagging state legislators!

[RVC Library @rvcpl]

Today on Library Advocacy Day, we're all advocates for libraries!

Please take a moment to call, write, and tag your state legislators on social media to let them know that New Yorkers deserve appropriately funded libraries.
