Since we’ve received library services in the past, why are you requesting funding from the cities without libraries now?
Libraries and the people who work in them are geared towards serving people. We enjoy helping people, and do not want to turn people away from the library. It was easier not to address the issue and provide services, but it wasn’t feasible to continue to provide these services without funding. The enforcement of signing a library services contract for cities without libraries has been in effect since July 1, 2011.
