<div><font size="4">ACTION ITEM: We need librarians and library supporters to attend the Legislative Finance Committee session at 1:00 pm the afternoon of Thursday, December 12th to show support for library programs of the New Mexico State Library within the
Department of Cultural Affairs budget. Our presence supports the inclusion of robust funding for the 2020 Library General Obligation Bond Issue and the proposed substantial increase in funds for the state grants-in-aid program for public and tribal libraries.
We are informed that the Committee will not be taking public comments supporting the many museums, historic sites and institutions within the Department. This is still the chance to be seen and recognized by committee members. </font></div>
