Here\’s One from The Washington Times that expands on the chronic problems in the D.C. public library system noted first in This One
Library officials said there is little they can do to maintain the same level of service as their costs increase and their annual budgets decrease. Recently, the library system\’s $26 million budget was cut by $587,000; a cut of $2 million had been planned.
\”The residents out there that use the libraries are disgusted,\” Mr. Mendelson said. \”It is good that we haven\’t cut the library funding as drastically as we have other programs, but the other side is that we haven\’t increased funding either. These libraries get surprisingly good use and little attention.\”
