Lubbock Public Library’s deep budget cuts bring changes

kctipton writes “The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reports today that the Lubbock Public Library is dropping many periodical subscriptions to save money. It’s also significantly reducing purchases of all sorts of other new materials, including increasingly popular audiovisual items. Very deep budget cuts are to blame (cut by much more than 50%).”

Same tune being played in Montreal, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Hawaii, and Georgia.
