.@SenatorCardin U.S. Libraries employ ~370,000 & purchase $4bil in materials yearly. Our libraries must be included in COVID19 relief legislation. As a constituent & @PGCMLS CEO I urge you to sign @SenJackReed & @SenatorCollins' letter calling for emergency library funding.

Send Congress a clear message: funding for libraries is nonnegotiable today.
