Get your books while you still can:
The Tucson Citizen reports that the library will be taking yet another cut this year. That is in addition to the cut sustained last year, which was kept rather quiet. $1.2 million dollars less for our libraries means fewer student employees and fewer acquisitions. Part of the way the library will be determining what to cut is by checking the rate at which certain materials circulate.

This is why we propose the following:
All of those books you've been meaning to read some day....check them out now.
The journals you need to use...check them out now.
All of your most treasured books that you probably already own, but can recognize that it is extremely important that other students have access to them through the library system...check them out now.
No time to go hunt them down in the shelves? Take advantage of the paging service by logging on to your library account (upper right hand corner) and "page" the books ("recall or request this item"). They will appear for you the next day in the reserves section and you will be notified by e-mail. This will also highlight the importance of the paging service.

Don't wait until the books are gone. Not having books because of censorship and not having books because of the economy amount to essentially the same thing: no books. Fight the administration's underfunding of our libraries! CHECK THE BOOKS OUT NOW!
