Libraries Struggle to Stay Afloat

With Americans everywhere looking for ways to save money, libraries have become an ever-increasing source of information and entertainment. One library in Westchester, New York, actually had to turn away patrons at a recent career counseling workshop because all the spots were filled. Despite its increasing popularity, budget cuts across the board are forcing some libraries to cut services and hours to patrons. One solution is for neighboring libraries to combine services for patrons. Other solutions that have been proposed include keeping libraries open on Sunday’s on a rotating schedule and a non-resident service fee.
