Libraries across W.Va. prepare for potential cuts

Library administrators across the state are holding emergency meetings and hoping for the best after the Supreme Court ruled last week that a law forcing the Kanawha County Board of Education to fund its public library is unconstitutional.

“I think we’re all making plans for the worst-case scenario because right now, that’s the fiscally responsible thing to do,” said Pam Coyle, director of the Martinsburg-Berkeley Public Library.
