An important message from City Librarians Fontayne Holmes and Susan Kent

Dear "saveLAPL" Friends:

As City Librarian, each of us had the good fortune to work with all of the communities throughout the City of Los Angeles to build or renovate neighborhood libraries and to expand library services and hours. Neighborhood libraries are at the heart of each community.

LA Public Library needs your help again

Dear friend,

In 2008, you were one of more than 1300 Angelenoes who used the grassroots tools of the SaveLAPL.org website to tell Mayor Villaraigosa and City Council's Budget & Finance Committee how much you value the Los Angeles Public Library system. And thanks to your powerful and moving emails, the SaveLAPL campaign was successful in reversing a proposed $1 per book inter-library loan fee, branch closures, staff firings and a freeze on book purchases. Librarians and library patrons breathed easier... for a while.
