Libraries are an important part of our Commonwealth’s education structure, however, libraries have not been getting their fair share from the state. Our libraries have been forced to lay off staff, cut benefits and reduce hours of operation. Some have increased usage fees and fines…and on top of all this, many libraries have stopped purchasing new books and technology resources altogether.

  • Libraries are an important part of our Commonwealth’s education structure, however, libraries have not been getting their fair share from the state. Our libraries have been forced to lay off staff, cut benefits and reduce hours of operation. Some have increased usage fees and fines…and on top of all this, many libraries have stopped purchasing new books and technology resources altogether. The 2005-2006 state budget proposal calls for a $1.5 million increase in the public library subsidy. This is welcome news for the Commonwealth’s libraries, which are still recovering after budget cuts in 2003. The budget increase would raise the public library subsidy from $57.9 million to $59.4 million. I will continue to work alongside my colleagues in the General Assembly to make increased library funding a reality.
