The fight to save our library is more important than ever as Gannon University and Erie County administration continue to ignore those who want to Keep Our Library Public.

You can help us purchase an ad in the Erie Reader during the month of February. 

The ad will encourage people to join the thousands of individuals who have already signed the online petition. The ad will look similar to the yard signs purchased earlier in the month. The Erie Reader has over 37,000+ people; this is a great opportunity to strengthen our growing movement. 

Depending on how much we raise will determine the size of the ad. The deadline to have the ad in print for the February 8 edition is Feb 1. 

To donate: https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/91pZp86Wht The cost of a full page ad is $2,400. So far we have $750.00.
