Thank you for your support of CML and Issue 4!

As you may know, CML had to cut $11 million out of its budget recently due to state and local funding cuts. Branches are now closed on Sundays, hours of operation are shorter, and the materials budget was cut by half. CML needs ISSUE 4 to continue to be able to provide service to 8 million visitors per year.

Our volunteer coordinators may have contacted you and you may have even volunteered already. Thank you! Even if you have already volunteered or have made plans to volunteer, please take a minute to visit www.keepcmlstrong.org to register as a volunteer so that we have complete contact information for you. Doing so will help us to communicate with you most effectively. The site will also allow you to make a donation and sign up to recieve a yard sign.

Please help spread the word to your friends, family, neighbors and coworkers about www.keepcmlstrong.org and ISSUE 4. You can also become a fan of the keepcmlstrong Facebook page for the most up-to-date information.

Thank you for your support of CML!

Absentee ballot requests have been mailed by the Franklin County Board of Elections! If you don’t get one by September 7th and want to vote early, call the BOE. Regardless of when you vote, remember to VOTE FOR ISSUE 4 to Keep CML Strong!

The Issue 4 campaign needs several hundred volunteers to help with phone banking, direct mail, yard sign distribution, and canvassing. You can help by visiting www.keepcmlstrong.org and signing up to volunteer!

Momentum is starting to build around the library levy with the launch of two important sites. KeepCMLstrong.org is the official campaign site, and it is up and running. Visit the site to register to volunteer, sign up for yard signs and donate.

Facebook.com/keepcmlstrong is the levy’s Facebook page. Right now the aim is to get as many friends signed up as possible. Visit the page and friend it, then encourage all your friends and acquaintances to do the same.

Let’s do all we can to make sure this levy passes on November 2!
