The Troy Public Library will close August 5th unless the citizens of Troy, Michigan pass a dedicated millage. In most cities this would be no big deal, here in Troy there is a well financed anti-tax group that actively works to undermine the efforts of library supporters by any means necessary. With your help we will defeat them with this simple message: if you want a reliable library you have to fund it reliably.
To accomplish this we need to combat their lies, inaccurate statistics and dangerous misinformation. With your help over the next 24 hours we can raise $1200 about the cost of one final mailer to our supporters. Stand with us now by donating $5, $10,$20, $50, or $100 or more if you can afford it. If you prefer, you can write a check, but drop it in the mail today using this form so that will get it in time to put it to good use.
Spread the word if you have friends from Troy. Instead of celebrating our 40th anniversary like these famous authors would have had, we are considering closing it down.
Thanks for your consideration.
