New Yorkers for Better Libraries

Nassau Libraries held its annual NY4BL fundraiser at Domenico’s Restaurant on May 16th. An excellent turnout heard Clive Young speak on the topic “Shelf Indulgence: Libraries in Pop Culture”. The event raised over $12,000 for the NY4BL, which will be used to further the cause of libraries among decision-makers in Albany. Another great job by our wonderful friends in Nassau County!

Innovative Interfaces- NY4BL Champion!
Once again, Innovative Interfaces has proven its support for libraries in New York by becoming a NY4BL Library Champion and a Gold Sponsor for our Gala Fundraising Banquet.
Our sincerest thanks go out to Innovative for its constant support for libraries and for helping us tell the library story.
The Public Library Directors’ Association has again stepped up with a $5000 donation to NY4BL PAC. The PLDA of Suffolk County has historically been a wonderful supporter of our efforts to help libraries be heard in Albany.
Thank you!
Libraries are under attack from many forces these days. Flat funding at the state level, coupled with reduced funding at the local level, leave libraries in the conundrum of increased usage and fewer dollars to pay for services. The Defenders of Libraries are library champions who donate $20 or support our libraries’ message in Albany. Please join us and become a Defender of Libraries.

Our sincere thanks to those NYLA conference attendees who donated to the NY4BL during the conference. As the result of their generosity, over $4000 was received to help further our cause of increasing access to those in Albany who can really help libraries.
