]]> You Can Help! Let NYS Legislators Know Libraries are Important to You! tag:www.pawlinglibrary.org,2010://32.6142 2010-02-16T01:47:00Z 2010-02-23T15:31:29Z Karen http://www.pawlinglibrary.org New York State Legislators are reviewing the fifth proposed cut in less than two years.  These cuts will bring statewide Library Aid down from $102 million in 2007 to $84.5 million in 2010. These cuts combined total an $18 million or 18% reduction in funding for library services. In these hard times, library usage is up! Libraries are an essential part of the community safety net providing opportunities for life long learning, jobs, quality of life and community empowerment. Read what the New York State Library Association has to say about the proposed cuts.

Library supporters all over the state are telling the NYS Legislature to reject the $2.4 million cut in Library Aid Governor David Paterson is proposing in the 2010 - 2011 Executive Budget.  See how you can help!

Mike http://www.ThisllWork.com The Library Board of Trustees is changing and we need new trustees to fill vacancies and new positions. If you love our library and you'd like to see it grow and improve, please consider joining the PFL Board of Trustees.

    Trustees are needed to nurture links to the Pawling community and to develop forward strategies for the Library. They also develop and manage fund raising projects. Please contact Bob Reilly by email or call Verna Carey at (845) 855-5626.

    The Library also needs volunteers to help at the Library itself but also to help with other Library support projects; such as the PFL Annual Book Sale (a year round project), the upcoming Holiday Booksale and several new projects being considered.

    We also have a Friends of the Library group forming. Our Friends group will plan special events that help support the library in many ways. If you are interested in joining, you can contact Karen DeGennaro to add your name to our growing list of dedicated Friends.

    If you have a great idea for fund raising or programming at the library -- we'd love to hear from you! Talk with the Library staff directly or contact a member of the Board of Trustees. You can find our Trustees names in the "About the Library" section of this web site.

    Thanks for whatever you can do!

Mike http://www.ThisllWork.com Pawling Free Library has switched every light in the main building to new "green" bulbs.

    This changing of the lights is a big win for the Library and the Pawling community in at least three ways. These low-wattage flourescent bulbs use much less power and last longer than regular incandescent bulbs and, unlike earlier flourescent replacements, these contain no mercury so that they can be recycled when it is time to replace them.

    Doing the Math:
    PFL Trustee Frank Sinisi replaced 27 bulbs throughout the library, including in places where the lighting had been reduced to save costs. Now all the dim corners are beautifully lit.

    Six of the bulbs replace the little 50 watt floods over the desk with flourescents that put out just as much light but only consume 14 watts of power. Two more bulbs provide similar savings and an additional 19 large incandescent floods save 65 watts each. That makes a total of 1523 watts -- 1.5 kilowatts -- saved during every hour that the library is open.

    Add in savings for less heat in the summer and the savings due to longer life of the bulbs and you can see that this is a significantly "green" step in every way.
