Libraries share the truth and fight misinformation during a time when unreliable and false information is easily spread. Thank you, library workers, for keeping the truth alive. #LoveLibraryWorkers

.@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.
Thank you @RepRaskin for your support for Maryland’s libraries!
During the COVID-19 pandemic, libraries and their staff continue to serve our communities. This National Library Week, visit your local branch's website for digital materials, check out online programming, get a digital library card, and say #ThankYouLibraries!

We're almost out of time to urge Congress to #FundLibraries. We need your help to make it happen.
Send Congress a clear message: funding for libraries is nonnegotiable today.
