Susan Benning writes: “An article in 11/05/02 Greensboro News-Record section Rockingham County states that NC is threatening to cut all state aid to the county libraries because the county cut funding to the county libraries in a disproportionate share than other departments. The libraries’ $1.9 million budget was cut $61,500 for fiscal year 2002-2003. The NC Department of Cultural Resources Code governs library funding and has a Maintenance of Effort clause that says the state can cut all of funding to a library if the county makes budget cuts. NC threatens to cut $136,945 from the library state aid.
