| Write a Letter to Your Representative Libraries across the state are facing funding cuts from state and regional asset dollars that will affect services and resources, including Sewickley Public Library. With a projected $60,000 loss of Allegheny County Regional Asset District (RAD) funding in 2010, Sewickley Public Library will be hit especially hard. State funding cuts for libraries are also proposed, ranging from 14.3% to 55.3%. We hope that the residents and patrons of the Sewickley Public Library will contact their officials, listed below, and encourage them to freeze funding for public libraries instead of slashing libraries' budgets. A short note, such as "Please freeze library funding next year at the same amount that it is this year" will work. Add a reason or a personal story about why the library is important to you. Help Sewickley Public Library by sending a strong message to these officials regarding the need to continue support for our library. The state officials mailing addresses and phone numbers are below. Governor Edward Rendell 225 Main Capital Building Harrisburg, PA 17120 717-787-2500 Senator John Pippy (Sen. Pippy is everyone's senator in the QVSD, Moon Township, and Ohio Township) 1009 Beaver Grade Road, Suite 210 Moon Twp., PA 15108 412-262-2260 Representative T. Mark Mustio (Aleppo, Edgeworth, Haysville, Osborne, Sewickley Borough, Sewickley Heights, Sewickley Hills, Moon Township, and Ohio Township) 1009 Beaver Grade Road Suite 220 Moon Township, PA 15108 (412) 262-3780 Representative Robert F. Matzie (Bell Acres, Leet Township, Leetsdale) 1240 Merchant Street, First Floor Ambridge, PA 15003 (724) 266-7774 (412) 565-3569 Representative Daniel J. Deasy (Glenfield) 436 South Main Street Pittsburgh, PA 15220 (412) 928-9514 Thank you for your support. |

| Save Access PA POWER Library If you've downloaded a magazine article; if you've done online research for a homework assignment; if you've used EBSCO Host; if you've searched the AP photo archive; or if you've taken advantage of the hundreds of online resources offered, you've used the POWER Library. It could all go away if proposed state budget cuts in Harrisburg become law. POWER Library faces the real threat of elimination in the next state budget that is still unresolved in Harrisburg. Despite widespread use, taxpayer savings, and overwhelming success, POWER Library faces deep cuts in the budget plan passed in the State House of Representatives, and ELIMINATION in the plans that passed the State Senate. As a POWER Library user, you can save this excellent, cost-effective service. The Pennsylvania Library Association now offers a new online tool to make it easy to Take Action! |
