Indianapolis-Marion County Public Library Announces 26% Cut in Hours


The reduction in hours will save $1,500,000 of a projected $4,000,000 revenue shortfall.

One other announced cut:  $1,000,000 to the library's materials budget.

Plus an increase in the fees for replacing a library card and not picking up holds.
