Here are some headlines from Hotline.
- Newark, NJ, 18% cut leads to closures, layoffs
- PA support for libraries drops by another 8.4% (side note, this is an addition to the 27.9% cut they saw earlier in the year)
- Troy Public Library , MI, set to close July 2011, if no millage.
- Las Vegas/Clark County system cuts hours and staff.
- Lexington Public Library, KY, cuts positions and materials.
These are just SOME of the many many many cuts and closures that I read about each and every week. I'm sharing this with you as a reminder - This is the time to be the best advocate you can for your own Public Library!
Stand strong and Support your Public Library in these very hard economic times.
