Budget Cuts: Update

The Matawan-Aberdeen Public Library is now joinging with many other libraries in a statewide advocacy to restore library funding to the state budget. Orange postcards are available to fill out to oppose the reduction in funding. On your next visit, please fill out an orange postcard at either the circulation desk of the children's desk. You can even add a message on the back if you'd like. Then we'll send all of the postcards together to legislators. For more information on the budget cuts, or to email your legislator please go to Save My Library NJ.
