Decatur library gets city loan; but long-term solution may be painful. (Decatur Herald-Review, 6/4/2013)
Excerpt: Library officials set the library’s expenses, but the city council controls how much money the library receives from property taxes. The council cut that amount by $390,000 in 2009 when the recession struck and has kept it flat at $3 million since then.
With the added element of long-term population loss.
