Send your note of support to the Joint Committee on Finance for the 2023-2025 biennial budget. Include this message along with your personal note:

I am writing to support a modest increase of $6 million for regional public library system aid in the 2023-2025 biennial budget, as well as cost-to-continue funding for BadgerLink, Newsline for the Blind, and contracts with providers of specialty library services from the Wisconsin Talking Book & Braille Library, Cooperative Children’s Book Center, UW-Madison and Milwaukee Public Library.
