LET’S FILL THE BUS!




LIBRARY LEGISLATIVE DAY

Let's Fill the Bus!

 STATE HOUSE, BOSTON

Tuesday, March 26, 2013

The Western Mass. Library Advocates (WMLA) have arranged for a bus to take us to Boston for Library Legislative Day. Please consider taking the bus and using this opportunity to advocate with your legislators to fund libraries, networks and the Regional System.  

 The pick-up spots are:
            6:45 am            MLS/ Whately
7:30 am            Table & Vine Liquors (formerly Town & Country),
West Springfield  (Park close to Riverdale St.)
8:15 am            Palmer Public Library (Park across the street.)
9:10 am            Auburn Public Library  (Park in the corner of the lot away from the building.)
The bus will leave Boston at 2:30 pm and will arrive in Whately by 5:45 pm.  The group discount cost is still only $20 per person.  This price is a great deal, less than the cost of parking in a Boston garage for five hours. 


Complete the form below and mail with your check to: WMLA, PO Box 609, So. Deerfield, MA  01373 ~or~ send through delivery to MLS/ Whately Attn: WMLA .  Please include the memo “Legislative Bus” on your check.
