Lyons library branch will cease operating. (Clinton Herald, 2/25/2014)
The branch has operated at its current location since 1955.
The library's piece of the pie. The library runs a distant third for operating costs [behind police and fire], accounting for 7.2 percent of the general fund. It was one of two departments to receive a five-figure slash. Since this impacts Lyons Branch operations it jeopardizes the four part-time staffers it takes to run the facility. It costs roughly $30,000 annually to staff the branch.
