<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Concerned message from a recent board member and former legislative liaison here.  While I am no longer on the FACRL board, I wanted to bring to your attention the email (copied below) from Elijah at FALSC yesterday.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">TL;DR if funding is not approved for the Complete Florida Plus Program, there may not be a FALSC tomorrow.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I don’t need to tell you what that would mean for all of our academic libraries, and more importantly for all the folks working at FALSC. This story is evolving as we speak and you may want to follow along. 
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am sharing this note to encourage FACRL to reach out to the governor’s office. Perhaps we can even get ACRL to lobby on behalf of FALSC.  Maybe place your own calls. Get your university’s admin engaged.<u></u><u></u></p>
