PA Library Crisis & Advocacy
It scares me that we might lose POWER Library databases/resources. I use them every day. It's a handy, accessible-from-home reference library. It has everything from biographies, to Grove's Art and Music, to medicine to car repairs...to my #1 most used item: Ebsco and all of its periodical resources. POWER Library is just one of the valuable library programs at risk with PA's next budget.
