My Fellow New Yorkers: Please help support The New York Public Library! (and all libraries, really)

As I've heard/read so many people say before, a recession is the worst time to cut funding to libraries. Please grab the badges below and stick 'em on your blogs. Then head over to NYPL's "Write to the New York City Council and the Mayor" page and DO IT. Let the city council and King Mike know how important libraries are! Thank you!!

Embed the Don't Close the Book on Libraries badge on your website or blog using the code below.

Sure, the Internet is a huge library that many folks can access from home. However, a lot of folks can't afford access to the Internet. Also, the library is a free place to go to be away from home and/or work, where you can get things done. How many other places offer that ON TOP of all those damn books?

Bring the support, people!
