Wherever we turn, there is a need for information.
Libraries supply that information and access to learning.
We urge you, the Regents Commission on Library Services, to be advocates for New York State funds which will provide the necessary dollars for all levels of libraries as we strive to bring to each citizen living and studying in New York State the best access to information. We urge the Commission to consider the role of academic libraries in New York State. Academic libraries serve the educational needs of community residents as well as their students and faculty. Our doors are open to all. We share our books, other information resources, and our expertise.
