Sign our petition and show Gov. Jay Nixon and Missouri legislators that you support state funding of Missouri’s public libraries, and the important services those funds support.
This year Missouri’s governor is withholding money that was budgeted for public libraries. Barry-Lawrence Regional Library's portion amounts to about $122,000. Some of this money is a subsidy for Internet connections and some is for state aid/equalizationto libraries, which pays for materials, technology, and equipment.
We appreciate the governor’s support of libraries in the past, but our budget year is half over and if that money is not released, patrons may see fewer books, computers and Internet connections.
What can you do to help? If you would like to urge the governor to release funds needed by public libraries, please consider taking any of these actions: Sign our petition in support, consider writing to Office of Gov. Jay Nixon, P. O. Box 720, Jefferson City, MO 65102, call the governor’s office at 573-751-3222 or go to the website www.governor.mo.gov, click “get involved” and fill out the contact form.
Thank you for helping let the governor know that these funds are important to the librarycustomers in Missouri.
For more information about this issue please contact the Barry-Lawrence Regional Library at 417-235-6646 or [email protected].

this is wrong, this is the only way some people can get on line. Who can anyone find a job without the internet.
If I didn't have this library I would be lost. Just moved into Eagle Rock Mo. I don't know anybody or where any thing is. So, I need this to help me survive.
We are very Thankful for my Library! My kids love books and story time, they are now reading to me! We would not know what to do without the Libraries and the amazing Staff!
I am so thankful for the Barry Lawrence Regional Library System!!
We love our story time at the Library! My kids would be sad if it wasn't available!

Our libraries provide access to information that is much needed by low & middle income residents.

I use the Marionville Library daily as a resource for my licensed day care. We attend as many programs that we can. We check out materials - Books, DVDs, VHS, Audio-EBooks, use the Wi-Fi. The programs are so important to the children. They love the library and enjoy reading. Witholding this money will hurt our communities. I have been using the BLRL - Marionville Branch Library since 1996!
