California State Librarian, Greg Lucas, seeks money for CA libraries in a visit to Congress.
It’s going to be a tough fight: The president’s budget today proposed deep cuts into public libraries’ existing budgets, and it would eliminate perhaps a third of the state library’s budget.
In California, more than half the population — about 22 million — have library cards.
Congress is closely divided and partisanship is deeply entrenched, but a sound library system is not a partisan issue, argues Lucas. Story from Capitol Weekly.
