Reading Out Loud (and your support) Makes a Difference

From the official NYPL website/email newsletter came the resoundingly happy message in Cafe Drake's Inbox as below. Thanks to all who rallied and shouted support for our hometown of New York City's vital library system!!

"You spoke out loud and clear against a crippling $37 million proposed City budget cut -- and your voices were heard by Mayor Bloomberg and the City Council, who restored enough service to keep libraries open at least five days a week.

We'd like to thank the Mayor, the City Council, and the 130,000 New Yorkers and others who wrote letters, donated, and demonstrated their belief that libraries are not luxuries."
