Friends of the Pulaski County Library

All Public Libraries need your help! We have legislation that can have a detrimental affect on libraries and how board members are appointed.

Please call your senator, Rick Girdler: 1-800-372-7181, and give him this message:
Vote No on SB 167. Library Boards are already working well for their communities. That doesn’t need to change.
