Citizen's Defending Libraries Say Do Not Vote for Christine Quinn
Here is some breaking news relating to library issues and the elections-
Citizens Defending Libraries recommends: Do NOT vote for Christine Quinn, who favors selling and shrinking New York City libraries and is tolerant of the current astoundingly low level of library funding at a time of increasing use.
"It is shocking that a candidate running for mayor is in favor of selling off New York City libraries, drastically shrinking library space in the system and is tolerating the current the jaw-dropping extent to which the funding of New York City libraries has been reduced during Ms. Quinn’s tenure as speaker while system usage has been rocketing up."-READ MORE-

Citizens Defending Libraries will shortly be issuing other guidance, pro and con, on the candidates.
The news, issued in a press release and available on the web, is worth passing along. It is on Facebook and has been also been tweeted.
Saturday, September 7, 11:00 AM-1:00 PM Canvass Brooklyn Heights Library280 Cadman Plaza Any subway to Court St Borough Hall, 1 block north Contact Eric Shtob,estob@gmail.com
Sunday September 8, 4:30-6:00 PM CDL meeting 101 Clark Street Community Room Brooklyn Heights, first stop in Brooklyn 2,3 to Clark St
Be sure and vote on Tuesday, primary election day! The election will affect whether our public libraries will continue to be closed for false reasons and sold off or whether they will be maintained and protected.
Wishing you all the best,
Carolyn McIntyre
