Link to December 4 Montgomery Advertiser article, "Autauga-Prattville library system cuts hours due to budget woes".
Excerpt: The system gets 90 percent of its funding from the city of Prattville ["The Preferred Community"] and the Autauga County Commission, Earnest said. The City Council repealed its budget about two months ago, declaring that the city was in a state of financial emergency.
The city's budget had funded the library system $265,000, the same amount as last year's ap propriation, records at City Hall show. The county government will give the system $185,000 this fiscal year, which is level fund ing from last year's spending plan.
The remaining 10 percent of the library system's budget comes from state library funds, donations and grants.
