Another round of budget cuts

Steffers writes “Keeping pace with the 3 year trend of library cuts, Monroe County (NY) is facing more budget cuts in FY2005. The Democrat and Chronicle is reporting that the library is looking at staff cuts, and hour reductions. The figures seem pretty moderate until you consider that the library had a 30% cut in staff 2 years ago and state funding is holding at 1997 levels.

It’s enough to make a Rochester girl wonder whether if there will a library to visit when she goes home.”
