Link to November 21 Warren Times Observer article, "Funding cuts forcing tough decision [sic] at county libraries".Excerpt: Faced with budget constraints, some county libraries are making the tough decision to cut hours despite state mandates.
According to an e-mail from Youngsville Public Library Board President Sue Perrin, Saturday library hours in Youngsville will be eliminated beginning today, Nov. 21. Library officials have applied for a waiver to relieve the library of state mandates in terms of hours of operation.
Calls to Perrin for comment were not returned and Youngsville Public Library Director Kristy Wallace was unavailable for comment.
Sugar Grove Free Library has reduced hours as well. The library eliminated Friday and Saturday hours, beginning Dec. 1. Library Director Kimberly Wilson was unavailable for comment.
Tidioute Public Library has not trimmed hours of operation, but has not tackled next year's budget yet.
