Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Suffolk County Library Association, I would like to extend our sincere thanks for the incredible outpouring of support and participation at this year’s Library Advocacy Day in Albany.
Your presence made a powerful statement. When we put action behind our words and show up together, our voices carry farther and are heard more clearly. Because of your commitment, our legislators saw firsthand the strength, unity, and dedication of the library community in Suffolk County. Your advocacy truly makes a difference for the future of our libraries and the communities we serve.
We are especially grateful for the extra time and effort it took to travel by bus and spend a full day advocating. Your willingness to go the extra mile speaks volumes about your passion and professionalism.
A heartfelt thank you as well to the entire SCLA Board, The Suffolk Cooperative Library System, the Public Library Directors’ Association, NYLA, our bus captains, and, most especially, Samantha Alberts for her outstanding coordination of the bus schedules and the day’s logistics. Her organization and support helped make the entire experience seamless and successful.
Thank you again for standing together, speaking up, and representing our libraries so proudly. We are stronger because of each of you.
All the best,
Bob
