Librarian Maria Buhl, a Guilderland, NY Public Library employee who was named one of the top 25 librarians in the nation. The award, given annually by The New York Times, honors working librarians for their public service and positive impact on the community. Buhl's efforts with the library's English as a second language (ESL) program and her work as a health services librarian won her recognition. Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) supports closing the gap in funding for libraries and providing more operating aid directly to libraries so they can have the resources necessary to meet the growing needs of their communities. This photo and others appeared as a feature in The Work Force, CSEA's monthly publication for union members, along with quotes from members sharing their experiences and speaking of the funding need and encouraging members statewide to take part in the New York Library Association Library Lobby Day on March 13.
