📚 Tonight our community came out to #SaveNilesLibrary. One of our most fundamental obligations is to ensure our youth have access to every safe learning opportunity possible. We must fund this precious resource for our neighbors and treat the staff with dignity and respect.

We've stood with the #SaveNilesLibrary coalition throughout this crisis. Follow their work to protect the library from severe budget cuts.
The 7th Trustee on the board has been legally appointed. Mr. Qadeer must be sworn in and seated.

IL state law allows the SOS (as State Librarian) to appoint a trustee when a board is deadlocked and won't do it themselves. Last night, one of the Niles-Maine Library trustees filed an injunction to block that legal and necessary appointment. #savenileslibrary

The police keep getting reports of graffiti at the library only to find out that the graffiti is #savenileslibrary in sidewalk chalk. Such a waste of taxpayer money.

AFSCME members at Niles-Maine District Library are keeping up the heat on the board of trustees, urging them to fully fund library staff and programs. They took their protest last week from the streets to inside the board meeting. #SaveNilesLibrary!

Anyone in the northwest side of Chicago & surrounding suburbs free on Wednesday, April 20, 6:30-7pm? Do you want to help a beleaguered staff of library workers protest the unnecessary 11-month hiring freeze? DM me for details. #savenileslibrary #UnionStrong

I enjoyed Saturday’s community walk in Niles, organized by @NilesCoalition - a great way to celebrate National Library Week & raise awareness about community and union efforts to protect & #SaveNilesLibrary, as we call for an end to the hiring freeze at the library.
