SAVE LIBRARY FUNDING!

Current budget legislation in Trenton calls for a 74% decrease in funding for statewide library services.

The Red Bank Public Library is at risk! If the proposed New Jersey budget cuts are passed, the library will lose:
- Free statewide interlibrary loan and delivery of library materials
- Free access to electronic databases such as RefUSA and EBSCO
- 50% of state aid at at time when demand for services is increasing dramatically
- Access to the Internet
- Email Services
- Group Contracts which bring down the cost of electronic resources purchased by libraries will cease.

In addition, Assemblyman John DiMaio has introduced A2555 which eliminates the minimum local funding requirement for municipal public libraries. If this passes, the Red Bank Public Library will be forced to reduce hours and/or purchase fewer books, DVDs amd CDs or make other major service cuts.

THERE IS A PETITION IN THE LIBRARY TO REVERSE THE CUTS - PLEASE COME IN AND SIGN IT. HELP SAVE THE RED BANK PUBLIC LIBRARY!
