Please check the list of Utilities and Energy Committee members below. These are the people who will be hearing testimony on L.D. 29 this Wed. afternoon. If you know any of them, please call them and explain the impact that losing MSLN would have on your library service to your patrons. Elizabeth Moran will be presenting testimony on behalf of the library world. She would love quotes to share about the devastating impact losing MTEAF and MSLN would have on your library. These quotes will be particularly helpful if they come from libraries/schools in towns that Utilities Committee members represent. Thanks for your help. It is sorely needed right now.
