Make a Quick Call Today : : Support Library Funding in the State Budget
Make
a Quick Call Today in Support
of Library Funding in the State Budget
CLA News
From The Capitol: 5.29.2015
by Mike Dillon & Christina DiCaro,
CLA Lobbyists
CLA’s Push for the “Senate
Version”
Specifically, the Governor
proposed adding slightly over $4 million for literacy and broadband
connectivity in his May Revision of the Budget. However, the Senate has adopted a dollar
amount that is $7.5 million more than what the Governor proposes for library
funding in his May Revision of the Budget -- for a total in new money of
approximately $11.7 million. (see the CLA “Budget ask” sheet,
which parallels the “Senate Version” of the Budget.)
The Assembly adopted only the
Governor’s May Revision of the Budget and no new money above that amount for libraries.
The Key Legislators to Contact
and Talking Points
Please take a moment today to
phone as many of these members as you can (listed below) and urge their support
of the following action using this sample script or similar talking points:
Hi, my name is _______. I am representing_____ (public
library/literacy program, etc.) I reside
in (city) and I am a strong library supporter.
I would like to be on record in support of an item that the
(Assemblymember/Senator) will be considering in Budget Conference Committee.
I would like to request that (he
or she) give consideration to supporting the Senate Version of the Budget,
under the State Library Budget Items.
The Senate Version reflects important funding for public library programs,
above the level contained in the Governor’s May Revision.
These dollars will help to fund
critical loaning and lending programs for libraries, as well as improve
literacy programs, and will help to connect public libraries to a statewide
high speed, broadband backbone.
Twenty eight legislators have
signed a joint letter in support of the Senate version and it is my hope that
your boss might also support the Senate version.
Thank you.

Orange Co Library :: Congratulations: Anita Taillon READ/OC Honoree :: 2015 Spirit of Volunteerism Award!
CONGRATULATIONS TO ANITA TAILLON READ/OC
HONOREE FOR THE 2015 SPIRIT OF VOLUNTEERISM AWARD!
READ Writes: April 2015
The
path Anita has taken to becoming READ/OC’s
star volunteer for the 2015 Spirit of Volunteerism Award was an unusual one. Most
volunteers start out as literacy tutors, but Anita first came to READ/OC in
2006 to assist at a single event, the Annual Family Picnic and Appreciation
Celebration.
Since
that time, Anita’s dedication to supporting the READ/OC volunteers has steadily
grown. She is now both Vice President
and co-Treasurer of the Friends of READ/OC, as well as the Chair of the
Friends’ most active committee in charge of recognition activities. Although she has never been a tutor herself,
Anita shows great understanding and enthusiasm in supporting the program, the
adult learners, and their tutors. Her organizational
skills and artistic talents have become legendary at the annual Family Picnic
and Fall Feast appreciation events.
In
addition, she helps ensure the program receives steady material and operational
support throughout the year. Anita’s humor, insight, and dedication make her a
truly extraordinary volunteer.
On
April 14, Anita was honored at the Spirit
of Volunteerism awards luncheon for her exceptional volunteer commitment to
READ/Orange County and the Friends of READ/OC, as well as her endless
enthusiasm, creativity, and dedication for helping other adults and their
families grow and thrive through lifelong learning and literacy.
APRIL
- A MONTH TO CELEBRATE VOLUNTEERS
We
are grateful for each and every READ/OC tutor, adult learner, and the dedicated
Friends of READ/OC! These life-changing
literacy services would not be possible without our volunteers: tutors,
learners, their family members, along with members of the community, library
staff, and staff of other community programs and agencies. All of them work together to support lifelong
learning and encourage adults throughout the county to engage in a learning
partnership at home, at work, and within the community.
Many
READ/OC volunteers are engaged in several different volunteer efforts in their
communities, as well as through their jobs, churches, and other service
organizations. With each endeavor, learning, friendships, and a sense of
community is shared and celebrated. If
you know someone who is seeking a worthwhile volunteer experience such as
yours, encourage them to volunteer with READ/OC and Friends of READ/OC! If they enjoy reading and learning, tell them
about the incredible learning adventures that await them as a tutor/learning
partner, as a Friend of READ/OC
or as a volunteer at their library. The experience will change lives and
communities!
