Want to protest the budget cuts? You can let Toronto Mayor David Miller know how you feel:

Mayor David Miller

I, of course, am protesting on my own behalf (and in my capacity as a past writer-in-residence for TPL and the current recipient of the TPL Celebrates Reading Award), but the more angry voices Mayor Miller hears, the better.
