Anonymous Patron writes “WIBW | These are challenging times for small rural public libraries in Kansas.
Because of declining population and a tiny property tax base, one-third of the 54 libraries that are part of the Central Kansas Library System can’t raise enough tax revenue to pay a librarian to work just ten hours a week.
Still, small libraries work with limited funds. At Gypsum, the city council last month approved a library budget of just $7,400 for next year.”
